New Balance
A bridge between two millennia, "When Things Were Pure" celebrates the ever-present thrill of Y2K while embracing the future. From jerseys and tall tees to the sounds of dial-up internet and freedom found in magazine pages, the 2000s were the apex of culture. This collection explores the concept of luxury drawing inspiration from the streets, basement parties as the epicenter of culture, and rap videos serving as our textbooks—when things were pure. Back then, browsing the internet on the family computer was the gateway to a new world of information and inspiration. And now, memory meets aspiration. Welcome to the New Balance 1000 by Joe Freshgoods—a nod to the memories that shaped us and those that continue to.
