Childish Gambino and Adidas might have had a brief fling, but it looks like New Balance is the rapper’s true soulmate. The sneaker brand has teamed up with Donald Glover for a new collab, and these RC30s are proof that good things come to those who wait.
The RC30s is a homage to the New Balance 320, the brand’s first sneaker to feature the N logo. But there are some modern updates that make them stand out from the crowd. The most notable is the rippled outsole, an experimental design choice inspired by the original New Balance Trackster.
This isn’t the first time that Glover has put his stamp on a sneaker collab. He previously worked with Adidas on a line of sneakers inspired by his TV show, “Atlanta.” But this time around, it seems like he’s really found his footwear match. With a minimalistic design and a focus on quality over quantity, the RC30s are sure to turn heads – and maybe even change the game when it comes to sneaker collabs.
