Fresh off the release of his free-spirited collaborative album with KATRANADA, Aminé has asserted a cult-like following since the overwhelming popularity surrounding his 2016 debut single “Caroline”. Imbuing the summer with the dual-effort album’s soulful sensations, the Portland native recently announced yet another team-up by way of tapping into the East Coast with an upcoming New Balance sneaker.

On Martin Luther King Blvd. in downtown Portland, Aminé and the Boston-based brand announced their partnership by erecting a bright yellow and brown billboard featuring a message from the multi-hyphenate that reads “A Kid From Portland Has His Own Sneaker”. Serving as an ambassador for the banner since 2022, the rapper’s Club Banana apparel brand will seemingly serve as the design inspiration marked by the bunches of fruit sitting in crates on the right side of the billboard. While we could see a twist on the brand’s past Made In USA efforts, Aminé notes the collaborative take will release later this year as a firm date has yet to be announced.

As we await additional information regarding the upcoming collaboration, check out the rapper’s announcement via IG below.

In other news from the Boston brand, the New Balance 550 has prepared an all-new slate of “Sea Salt” centric colorways.
