Copenhagen-based fashion brand GANNI, alongside New Balance, has unveiled its latest T500 partnership, which supports emerging talent within the Danish capital’s fashion scene.

For the creative project, the duo invited four rising Copenhagen-based creatives — MASCULINA, Bonnetje, Camilla Skov, and Ojuna Njama Petersen — to celebrate and co-create the T500 silhouette, using the shoe as a blank canvas for creative interpretation.

“Collaborating with emerging talents and independent creatives has always been a source of joy and purpose for me, and I am thrilled to share our platform with these talented individuals who embody such strong and unique creative visions. The T500 silhouette is a true archival favourite for me, and it was an honour to be invited to reinterpret this iconic shoe some 40 years after its inception,” said Ditte Reffstrup, Creative Director of GANNI.

In celebration of this project, GANNI and New Balance will host an exhibition showcasing the four unique designs alongside the official shoe collaboration at the flagship GANNI Bremerholm store closer to the collaboration launch on September 20th.

The GANNI x New Balance T500 consists of more than 80% recycled polyester content in the upper composition, 20% polyurethane overlays, and 100% recycled polyester mesh detailing. The lining is composed of 60% virgin PU and 40% recycled polyester, and the sole composition contains 5% recycled rubber.

Mark your calendars as the GANNI x New Balance T500 will retail at $150 USD and will be exclusively available in GANNI stores globally and on GANNI.com on September 20th. For more drops, check out our Sneaker Release Dates Calendar.
