Grand Collection x New Balance Reinforce the 770 and 508 for New York Street Skating
Name: Grand Collection x New Balance 770, Grand x New Balance 580Colorway: Black/Duffel BagSKU: UN770NGD, UN508GRN-5MSRP: $125 USD, $100 USDRelease Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: Grand, New BalanceGrand Collection and New Balance have reunited for a second collaboration, led by reworked takes on the 770 and 508 designed to hold up under skateboarding. The follow-up to last fall's debut team-up builds every piece around three priorities: use on the board, careful construction, and a look that won't date quickly. A full apparel offering rounds out the range, along with a New York skate video that puts it all to work.The footwear sets the tone. Both the 770 and 508 are offered in black and deep forest, and each pairs premium leather with brushed suede. Branding stays low-key, limited to subtle debossed hits instead of louder logo treatments. The more important changes are structural: both silhouettes have been reinforced for better stability, stronger impact protection and longer wear, which matters most for a shoe that will take daily abuse on concrete and ledges.The outerwear piece follows the same approach. The jacket is cut from taslan nylon and lined in fleece for warmth, with Grand's signature piping tracing the body and embroidered branding as the finishing detail. An adjustable cord at the hem lets the wearer close up the silhouette against the wind. Hand pockets are set into the seams and secured with YKK zippers, so they stay flat and out of the way when the board is in motion.The sweatshirt is built for heavier wear. It's made from 520gsm, 100% cotton fleece, colorblocked, and closed with a two-way front zipper that can be opened from either end. Zippered pockets sit along the seams, embroidered branding ties it to the rest of the range, and matching bottoms turn it into a full set.Lighter layers fill out the collection. A soft oxford shirt in cross-woven 100% cotton offers a cleaner option, while co-branded cotton tees cover the basics.The accompanying video shows the pieces in use. Shot on the streets of New York, it follows Grand and New Balance skaters Brian Reid, Spencer Hamilton and Brandon Westgate. The only soundtrack is a live solo piano performance by Brooklyn-based jazz pianist Jonathan Paik. The pairing of loose, improvised jazz with rough street skating mirrors the collection's balance of polish and practicality.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
