Shoe Palace has partnered with New Balance for a fiery release that captures the essence of volcanoes through the iconic New Balance 2002R silhouette. This unique “Two Pack” collaboration is inspired by the destructive yet formative nature of volcanic eruptions while embodying lessons of adaptability, ingenuity and sustainability within its designs.

The first pair, representing air and the ethereal aspects of an eruption, features a blue colorway. It utilizes a spaced-out open mesh, enhancing the theme of air and openness. This second silhouette draws inspiration from the solidification of lava into land and boasts fitting earthy brown hues with a tighter mesh structure that symbolizes stability and foundation.

Both pairs are constructed from luxurious materials including smooth cow suede and hairy suedes, ensuring comfort and durability. Reflective “N” logos add a touch of flair on both the medial and lateral sides, sitting atop angora white midsoles that provide a clean contrast. Completing the thematic design, each pair includes extra laces and custom insoles that visually echo their volcanic inspirations.

This release will be available exclusively at Shoe Palace stores and on their website starting April 26, priced at $150 USD.
