Incidentally, the New Balance label is becoming a leader in the field of sustainable shoes. That's because the entire shoe is made from partially recycled materials and is completely vegan. The use of sustainable and vegan materials on the Vision Racer has further advanced New Balance's supply chain and helped accelerate the brand's processes to create more sustainable and environmentally friendly materials.

Sneaker fans will have no trouble immediately recognizing that this new New Balance is a cross between two different models: in this case, the New Balance 1700 and the X-Racer – all in a color scheme dubbed “Wavy baby blue”. The most striking element of the silhouette is the EVA foam sole, which in addition to being chunky is divided into three rectangular blocks and decorated with a layer of translucent material in the outsole. These are embellished with the same font used on Smith's SYRE and ERYS albums, with Jaden Smith's signature found on the insole.
