The New Balance 610 Joe Freshgoods Beneath the Surface Lil' Swamps is a performance shoe designed in collaboration with Joe Freshgoods, a musical artist and designer. This version of the New Balance 610 has an upper made of mesh in a camo pattern featuring different shades of green. Textured suede overlays in a bright Orange color cross the upper in somewhat jagged designs with camo designs, forming the toe cap and supporting the side panels, and appearing on the heel. The New Balance N appears as a thin black layer on each side, and more branding is seen on the tongue. The heel features a pull tab, and the black midsole appears to be rugged and well-used. Our favorite thing about this shoe is the black stitching that decorates the Orange overlays, as it adds even more visual interest to the bright color. The New Balance 610 Joe Freshgoods Beneath the Surface Lil' Swamps was released on April 20, 2023, for $160. The Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 610 'Lil' Swamps' showcases sharply contrasting hues on a low-top silhouette built for outdoor functionality. The Chicago-based designer brings a custom camouflage print to the sneaker’s mixed-material upper, featuring a green mesh base with contrasting orange nubuck overlays. A black ‘N’ logo decorates the quarter panel, while JFG branding graces the tongue patch. The sneaker sits on a sculpted EVA midsole, treated to a pre-distressed finish and supported by a lugged rubber outsole.
