UPDATE 8/24/26: After emerging last month, Action Bronson’s New Balance 2811 in light blue has resurfaced, this time shared by the artist and food lover himself. The initial pair from July was deemed stolen by Baklava, but now he is giving us a more formal early look at the runner, which boasts accents in green, red, and blue over a mostly white base.
ORIGINAL STORY:
Fresh off of the success of his debut New Balance signature, the Action Bronson 2811 runner has already surfaced in its next look. Swathed in a baby blue mesh, the new colorway is expected to land in Fall 2026.
New Balance is ramping up their signature sneaker offerings from several of their biggest and brightest partnerships. The Boston brand has turned a new leaf this year, allowing Kith, Aimé Leon Dore, and Action Bronson to each launch a brand new silhouette exclusive to their product lines. ALD’s RC56 came first, though this model has since become an in-line silhouette for NB. Kith’s 2011, celebrating their 15th anniversary, landed in June, and Action Bronson’s 2811 model landed last week, selling out over several exclusive drops. Now, the Baklava signature model is almost ready to re-up in new colors.
The sophomore colorway for Bronsolino’s 2811 model surfaced over the weekend, in a single but very clear photo of the new look. Packaged in colorful striped boxes, the silhouette dons a much lighter palette for this forthcoming release than the debut colorway from last week. No official name has been bequeathed by Bronson yet, so we’re sticking with “Light Blue” for now (it later released as “The Whisperer”). The mesh base comes in a very light baby blue tone, adding synthetic overlays in a warm grey, with off-white and more blue accents scattered across the silhouette. Red stitching hits add a splash of color, while minty green branding and a black sole complete the look.
