The Joe Freshgoods x New Balance Rainier “Lil’ Block” is a collaboration by the talented Chicago based footwear designer on the performance outdoors shoe. Joe Freshgoods’ collaborative run with New Balance continues in a big way on the New Balance Rainier “Lil’ Block,” a colorway that updates the classic hiking-inspired model with a lifestyle edge. Lined with a water-resistant Gore-Tex membrane, the shoe features a custom camouflage ripstop construction with green nubuck overlays. Rope laces and brass eyelets add to the Rainer’s rugged look. A padded ankle collar provides a comfortable fit. Underfoot, a Vibram outsole ensures traction on slippery surfaces. Release date: April 20, 2023 Joe Freshgoods - Lil' Block
