Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria is a renowned sneakerhead. A lifelong enthusiast and a familiar face on Nice Kicks, Longoria today makes the leap from kicks aficionado to proud footwear collaborator. Thanks to the fine folks in Boston, the Evan Longoria x New Balance 530 comes to life.
Choosing the 530 due to its clean and heritage-based lineage, the shoe adorns a lush black pig suede with corresponding black denim to mimic Longoria’s off-field sartorial preference. Perforations throughout the upper add a unique layer of breathability and additional comfort to the shoe, while sheep skin lining for a glove-like fit plays to Longoria’s baseball background. A speckled midsole draws inspiration from the infield of a baseball diamond with the look finalized by a lace lock with the number three engraved at its center.
The Evan Longoria x New Balance 530 releases on May 30th for $160 at Private.
