The New Balance 610 Joe Freshgoods Beneath the Surface Lil’ Desert is a distinctive sneaker resulting from the collaboration between New Balance and Joe Freshgoods, highlighting a unique camouflage design. Inspired by the desert's landscape, this sneaker incorporates earthy tones and rugged textures that mirror the natural allure of the desert. Freshgoods brings his creative touch by fashioning a personalized camouflage print specifically for the silhouette. The shoe is structured with an upper combining nubuck and mesh overlays. The camouflage motif runs throughout, employing a mesh base of olive, black, and gray shades, intersecting with brown and orange panels. It also includes an ABZORB midsole and a rubber Ndurance outsole to enhance comfort. The distinguishing characteristic lies in its camouflage design, which contains hidden elements that not only enhance the shoe's aesthetic but also pay homage to the relationship between hip hop and this distinct pattern. Released on April 20, 2023, for $160. The Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 610 ‘Lil’ Desert’ presents a utilitarian silhouette designed to traverse rugged terrain. The Chicago-based designer outfits the low-top with a breathable mesh upper in black and orange. Tan nubuck overlays are embroidered with a custom camouflage print, while an orange ‘N’ logo adorns the quarter panel. JFG branding decorates the tongue tag and sockliner. A distressed finish is applied to the sculpted EVA midsole, supported underfoot by a durable lugged rubber outsole.
