Rapper Jack Harlow is set to introduce his highly anticipated New Balance footwear collaboration this week.

On Tuesday, Harlow announced that his 1906R “Rose Runner” sneakers will go on sale this Friday. These comfort-driven sneakers showcase a vibrant green midsole that stands out, a floral-print upper that evokes garden vibes, and a plush crushed velvet tongue for ultimate luxury. This stylish design is completed with a chic set of matching laces. Inside, buyers will discover playful illustrations on the insoles depicting a dapper gentleman and a classy lady dressed to the nines, offering a stylish nod to the Kentucky Derby, celebrated in Harlow’s home state.

The “First Class” rapper was announced as a New Balance ambassador in February 2022, igniting excitement among fans eager for updates on his collaboration. He previously appeared in a campaign for the brand and teased his sneaker. Earlier this year, the “Rose Runner” was unveiled, but it took several months to set an official release date.

In recent years, New Balance has experienced a resurgence, thanks to fun colorways and styles like the 9060, 550, and 1960, along with a focus on comfort footwear—a concept the brand has truly mastered.

Customers ready to snag a pair of “Rose Runners ” will be able to do so in-store or on the official New Balance website.
