New Balance / Joe Freshgoods 1000 "BLACK ICE"

Joe Freshgoods marks the return of the 1000, an archival running style originally released in 1999, with a comprehensive homage to all things Y2K. The 1000’s innovative design is taken to another level, with design cues taken from the early 2000s combination of luxury, futurism, and streetwear that completely redefined the fashion landscape. A performance-inspired open knit mesh upper in black is paired with bronze iridescent leather overlays, for a look that is equal parts sleek and rugged. Embroidered ‘1000’ and ‘JFG’ branding provides an elevated sense of detail, while flame graphics at the tongue and a web 1.0-inspired, lowercase ‘jfg’ badge at the heel provide subtle, unmistakably Y2K finishing touches.
