Inspired by the essence of the late 90s, cinematography and hip-hop of the time, this campaign combines elements of luxury, thoughtful design and nostalgic references.

The collection explores luxury through a cinematic perspective and combines storytelling and architecture to create a visual experience on and off the foot.

The Joe Freshgoods & New Balance MADE in USA 990v4 comes in a black and white color scheme.

The suede overlays are surrounded by patent leather, while mesh underlays cover the rest of the outer material with the contrast of the contrasting color.

“For this campaign, I wanted to focus on well-known moods from the late 90s. As I grew up, magazine campaigns, films, and ads from this period had a huge impact on my creative development.

‍

During this time, I began to appreciate the small details such as light, material, and film. I understood how these elements work together to create a coherent visual experience.
