The Aminé x New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” is getting even more exclusive. Beyond the October 4th launch, only 100 extra pairs will be raffled during Aminé’s Best Day Ever Festival in Portland, taking place September 13–14.
The ultra-limited edition design is the same chunky “Biblioteca” silhouette, but it comes infused with this exclusive raffle-only energy. The fun and over-the-top color-blocking of neon blue mesh, hot pink trim, and orange accents with green overlays perfectly represents the festival’s spirit. The glow-in-the-dark details and brash “Club Banana Research” callouts lend an idiosyncrasy that’s true to Aminé. It’s a sneaker that will turn heads and embody the spirit of Portland’s creative energy.
To secure a chance at the raffle, fans must preorder the wider Biblioteca release during the festival. That guarantees them a retail pair and automatically enters them into the drawing for this ultra-rare collectible. It’s a clever way to connect sneaker culture with local community events, turning the drop into more than just another release.
While this is the first official global collaboration on the 2000 model, it follows Joe Freshgoods’ extremely limited pink pair that appeared quietly earlier in 2025. Together, these drops prove that the New Balance 2000 is stepping into the spotlight with bold, culture-first storytelling. Sneakerheads who secure one of the 100 pairs will own a piece of that history.
