New Balance Taps Parks Project for an ‘Explore & Connect’ Fresh Foam X Hierro v7

For its latest collaboration, New Balance has tapped lifestyle brand Parks Project for the first time ever to create an outdoor-ready “Explore & Connect” Fresh Foam X Hierro v7.

The Parks Project x New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 features a unique design that combines Parks Project’s commitment to supporting and preserving public lands with New Balance’s innovative technology. In terms of construction, the pair is made of durable synthetic materials with a mesh toebox for breathability and hairy suede overlays. The shoe features a colorway inspired by urban green space, with lush green tones.

The Parks Project logo is featured on the tongue and insole, along with the New Balance logo. Lastly, the pair incorporates New Balance’s Fresh Foam X technology in the midsole, which provides responsive cushioning for a comfortable ride on the trails, as well as a Vibram outsole for enhanced grip and durability.

“We are thrilled to work with New Balance to celebrate parks, specifically, in this case, the value of parks in cities. Outdoor recreation can be about the epic backcountry trip or simply enjoying nature around you in an urban green space down the street from your home or work.  There doesn’t need to be a barrier to entry to get out and feel that connection to nature around you, and we know that relationship can bring immense healing and value to our lives,” says Keith Eshelman, Co-Founder and CEO of Parks Project.

The Parks Project x New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 is available now via NewBalance.com and ParksProject.us for $155. For more drops, check out our Sneaker Release Dates Calendar.
