Amine x New Balance collaboration

Amine hinted at his sneaker project with a billboard in his native town that shows wooden banana baskets placed next to the text "A Kid From Portland Has His Own Sneaker." There are no further details about the partnership so far. The billboard also features a brown and yellow color design, which might be a nod to the sneaker's color scheme. This banana-themed billboard also seems to be associated with Amine’s Club Banana label.

The rapper’s Club Banana clothing line, which he introduced in 2020, is renowned for its colorful and fun designs drawing on his Ethiopian ancestry and his enthusiasm for anime and cartoons.

While the particular model chosen for the partnership is unknown, Amine has been spotted sporting classic styles including the 990v3, 2002R, and 992, as well as more contemporary models like the 327 and 5740. He can add his own unique twist to one of these well-liked Made in USA products, or he might even develop a brand-new hybrid or signature style.

Amine has previously collaborated with the Boston-based sneaker giant on artistic endeavors. He collaborated with the brand and director Adam Daniel to release the short film "Limbo" in 2020. In the movie, Amine wore a variety of NB trainers as he investigated various facets of his cultural and personal identity.

In December 2020, he also participated in a virtual performance put on by New Balance, where he played some of the songs from his most recent album, "Limbo."

New Balance has recently worked with other musicians besides Amine. Big names like Action Bronson, Jack Harlow, Jaden Smith, and Bad Bunny have also partnered with the activewear company on a number of shoe projects that capture their distinct personalities and fashion instincts.

In order to broaden its appeal and reach a larger audience, NB appears to be drawing on the cultural significance as well as creative vision of these artists.
