Article Summary

  • New Balance launches three gamer-inspired sneakers for NBA All-Star Weekend.
  • Designs inspired by gaming controllers and include models TWO WXY v4, Fresh Foam BB V2, and Hesi Low.
  • Tyrese Maxey to sport these shoes during All-Star activities, blending hoops and gaming culture.
  • The collection features cutting-edge FuelCell and Fresh Foam technology for peak performance.

New Balance revealed three new sneaker designs this morning, all of which have been inspired by gaming, and will be on display during NBA All-Star Weekend. Launching today, the company took three different shoe models (the TWO WXY v4, Fresh Foam BB v2, and the Hesi Low) and gave them a unique option for you to purchase. While they don't come right out and say it, you can tell from the designs that all of these take cues from different controllers people have owned over the years. The minute we saw the green Hesi Low's, we were transported back to the '90s, holding an N64 controller that looked almost identical. The shoes launch today for people to purchase, and what's more, you'll see them on the court as well, as Tyrese Maxey of the Philadelphia 76'ers will be wearing them all throughout the weekend for All-Star activities. You can read more about them all below.
