Taking cues from the X-Racer and Jaden’s favorite heritage model, the 1700, the Vision Racer merges classic New Balance design language with Jaden Smith’s unique, fashion-forward aesthetic. Jaden’s first foray into footwear design, this bold silhouette pushes design boundaries and paves the way for sustainability-led footwear at New Balance. Each element incorporates recycled material and these unisex New Balance Vision Racer lifestyle shoes in White / Summer Jade Green are vegan-friendly. This special "Trippy Summer" edition is inspired by Jaden's love for the 1970s aesthetic. Design inspired by '70s graphics, Iced outsole with VISION RACER print. Midsole with EVA Regrind: The midsole includes 5% EVA regrind, alleviating a potential waste stream. Partially Recycled Insole: The dual density insert consists of a foam in a heel carrier. The insert foam is made of a combination of 6% castor bean oil, 15% recycled foam, 5% recycled rubber, and 74% virgin PU. The heel carrier is made from 98% post-production leftover foam and rubber. Recycled Content Upper. Synthetics: Synthetic leather is made from PU layered onto a thin polyester base and is a vegan-friendly alternative to traditional leather.
