Action Bronson gave fans a detailed look at two new colorways of his signature New Balance 2811, one subtle and one bolder.

Action Bronson just gave fans a detailed look at two upcoming colorways of his signature New Balance 2811. The photos show a light, off-white pair alongside a darker black and red option, side by side.

The off-white pair leans into a soft, mixed palette. Tan and white cover most of the upper, with light green, blue, and pink accents mixed throughout. It's a subtler build compared to some of Bronson's louder past releases.

The second pair flips that entirely. Black takes over the base, with a bold red "N" logo standing out on the side panel. Purple and white detailing runs through the mesh, giving the shoe a sharper, more aggressive look than its counterpart.

Both pairs sit on the same chunky sole built off the New Balance 2010's ABZORB cushioning. That foundation has carried the 2811 since its debut, giving Bronson room to experiment with upper materials and colors from there.

The consistency means each new colorway can push further with materials without changing how the shoe actually wears. It's the same approach New Balance has leaned on across other bulky lifestyle models in its current lineup.

Action Bronson x New Balance 2811

The New Balance 2811 marks Bronson's first true signature silhouette with the brand. It officially launched earlier this year with the "Mikročpske" colorway, a pale green and teal build introduced through his own short film.

That release drew plenty of attention right out the gate. Since then, New Balance has kept rolling out new colorways to keep the model's momentum going.

Bronson's relationship with New Balance goes back to 2023, spanning more than a dozen collaborations across models like the 990v6, 1906R, and 1890. The 2811 represents the next step in that partnership, marking the first shoe built entirely around his own design input.

With 2 more colorways now previewed, the 2811 looks set to become a steady presence in Bronson's rotation. No release dates have been confirmed yet for either pair shown here.
