Following the release of the “Headin’ Home” New Balance 57/40, Concepts will now be releasing a fruit-themed take on the 992 silhouette inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of a pioneering fruit seller and the reframing of American luxury.
Dubbed, “Low Hanging Fruit,” this offering of the New Balance 992 honors Frieda Rapoport Caplan, the “Kiwi Queen,” and her impact on popular culture — from changing taste buds to progressing food packaging. She reminds that nothing is real…until pioneers make it so.
The shoe features a Tan perforated base with hairy suede overlays nodding the skin of the kiwifruit and hits of kiwi Green on the top eyelets, “N” logos, midsole, and tongue branding. Additional details includes Concepts branding on the tongue, heel, insoles, and special box with strawberry graphic insoles.
