OG Post 01.22.20 // Coming fresh of a sneaker free agency period, Chicago’s Joe Freshgoods is about to embark on his next project since the self-imposed embargo — and he’s doing it on the fabled Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 650R Packsilhouette.
Earlier this month, Joe announced his signing with the Boston-Based brand by-way-of a cheeky rock-encrusted custom “NB” ring on his Instagram, and it hasn’t taken long for the Don’t Be Mad frontman to flex the fruits of his labor. First looks at the DBM x Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 650R Pack “Anatomy of a Heart” have arrived ahead of its fittingly-placed release on Valentine’s Day — although Joe claims that the alignment wasn’t intended during conceptualization. The rarely-seen silhouette features a very meaty DQM-style aesthetic, but that’s exactly what you should expect when you’re dissecting a human heart. Blood reds (both oxygenated and not) and iron-rich fleshy tans, pinks and beiges all drape the upper in layers of suede, leather, and mesh, while striking pops of pack can represent nothing other than tough tendon sinews. All of this comes together on a monochrome sole unit, and what appears to be three different sets of laces.
