Action Bronson x New Balance Minimus Trail Release Date – Shoe News

@fffiles/Action Bronson

Rapper Action Bronson’s partnership with Boston-based sportswear brand New Balance is still young, but it has already produced a number of coveted sneakers. Their most recent drop, three colorways of the New Balance 1906R sneaker released across May and June, was marred by release issues, so the artist’s team worked behind the scenes to improve the process. With that project complete, Action Bronson has now begun to announce his next collaboration, and it’s already garnering attention on social media.

The first intentional teaser of the upcoming Action Bronson x New Balance Minimus Trail collaboration came in the form of the rapper’s Instagram story on June 20. “Next up, here we go,” he captioned the image, which offered just a glimpse of the sneaker’s inside. Days later, the artist was spotted performing in the shoes in a post shared by @fffiles. As the photo made the rounds, social media users chimed in with insulting feedback about the sneaker’s appearance on his foot. Rather than reacting negatively or ignoring the comments entirely, Action Bronson seems to be taking it in stride.

“My foot is not the best model foot for shoes,” he wrote in another Instagram story on Thursday, promising that the upcoming collaboration will offer “performance, style and pizzazz.”

The New Balance Minimus Trail is a new silhouette from the brand. According to the shoe’s product description, the trail runner is designed to provide a natural barefoot feel. It features New Balance’s premium FuelCell cushioning and an AT Tread outsole, which the brand says is suitable for both on- and off-road activities. The Minimus Trail is available now in two styles for men and women, with a retail price of $119.99.

As far as we can tell so far, Action Bronson’s version of the New Balance Minimus Trail features a mix of airy blue mesh and grey grid, a yellow-tinted midsole and bright red laces.

While the standard New Balance Minimus Trail is available in stores, no release details have been announced for the upcoming Action Bronson collaboration. The rapper began announcing his 1906R collaboration in fall 2023 and it launched in May, so readers can likely expect a similar timeline for the Minimus Trail.
