With Pride Month kicking off in June, New Balance has announced its “Everybody’s Welcome” collection.

Inspired by the global LGBTQIA+ community and rooted in vibrancy and playfulness, the upcoming collection features art by queer Hong Kong visual artist, Zoie Lam. The footwear and apparel introduce original designs by Zoie that are emblematic of happiness and optimism. Her genderless characters are quirky and kindhearted; exemplifying warmth and empathy and underline our belief that everybody is welcome, no matter how you identify.

“At New Balance, we believe that product can be purposeful in driving positive change and creating healthy dialog,” said Kristen Mackenzie, Sr. Marketing Manager for New Balance. “Zoie Lam’s core value is positivity and she celebrates and encourages ambiguity and fluidity through her art. As a brand, our hope is that this collection will help foster connections with each other, regardless of our differences.”

The collection includes graphic tees, shorts, anorak, singlets, the Fresh Foam Tempo running shoe, a classic 574, and sandal. The collection will launch globally and on www.newbalance.com beginning on June 1.

Keep it locked for more New Balance news, and head over to SoleSavy to learn more about the most genuine sneaker community out there and how to buy releases like this one.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
