The Vision Racer is made from partially recycled materials, including synthetic leather and polyester on the upper, a midsole with EVA regrind, and a heel carrier crafted from castor bean oil, foam, recycled rubber, and virgin PU. The sneaker also boasts an exaggerated, iced outsole with “Vision” print, reflective details, and a rubberized tip for added durability.
Jaden Smith's New Balance Vision Racer is a certified head-turner. After debuting in July, the sustainable sneaker is back in a new eye-catching colorway, dubbed "Sunflower Yellow."
The Vision Racer draws from Jaden's bold, fashion-forward aesthetic, while simultaneously incorporating classic New Balance design. The silhouette is vegan-friendly, as each element includes partially recycled materials.
"The use of sustainable and vegan materials on the Vision Racer pushed the New Balance supply chain further and helped speed up the brand’s timeline to leverage more sustainable and vegan friendly materials," New Balance said in a press release.
You'll be able to purchase Jaden Smith's striking Vision Racer in "Sunflower Yellow" beginning November 6 when it releases online through New Balance and at select retailers.
