The pair follows other popular collaborations released earlier this year, including the 990v3 “GR3YSCALE,” the 2002R ”Lovers Only” and the “Wild Style 2.0” — a variant of the New Balance 990v4.
While previous pairs have opted for heavy use of black suede panels, providing understated looks, the “Fire Sign” is about as loud as it gets. The pair is covered in vibrant red suede panels layered on top of a bright orange and yellow gradient mesh base layer.
Other notable design elements include a significant use of silver reflective tape throughout, with the lateral “N” logos and rear “NB” in the same Metallic Silver color. At the medial side of the shoe is an embroidered and modernized “N” logo in black, complemented by black laces, black heel guards, white midsoles with black speckles and black outsoles.
