Jovani Hernandez Darius Bazley currently plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder, but his path to the NBA was unconventional: he uncommitted from Syracuse University for the G League, but ultimately chose to train on his own. Throughout his “gap year,” the now-20-year-old acquired an internship at New Balance, which inspired the brand’s latest New Balance 991.
As with some of the institution’s most iconic models, the recently-launched pair indulges in hits of grey atop its dull-colored ABZORB-cushioning underfoot. Mesh underlays and accompanying premium pig suede overlays boast vibrant yellow, “Royal Blue” and “Orange” flair. Profile “N” logos revert to a greyscale arrangement, but maintain the reflective finish that shines in the right lighting conditions. Branding elsewhere maintains its standard design, but tongues feature Bazley’s initials; lateral heels don the small forward’s number (7); and spines call out to the Boston-native’s independent route (and title of the documentary that follows his internship).
