Action Bronson chose to unveil his much-anticipated collaboration on the New Balance 990v6 at the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Grand Slam. The rapper and TV personality beat his opponent in a pair of unreleased sneakers. Prior to working with New Balance, he had worked with Adidas on some Ultraboost collabs back in 2018, but these never came to fruition.
Bronson first teased the collaboration on his Instagram in the week prior. From the images, we see the initials “Baklava New Balance”, and the Made in USA engraving on the top cover of the box. The sneaker sports a multi-colored colorway with a neon yellow-green mesh and brown mudguard. Hues of blue meet the top of the tongue and are embellished with purple-patterned laces.
