Chef and rapper Action Bronson has previewed his latest footwear collaboration with New Balance under the Baklava imprint. Dubbed the Planet Frog 1890 – a reference to his love of amphibians – the shoe features a striking colour palette.


A gold mesh upper sits above a steel‑grey suede toe overlay, while the heel counter is finished in salmon pink. A perforated brown suede tongue and olive green midsole introduce earthy contrast, and blue outsole accents complete the eclectic look.


The shoe is accompanied by a capsule of outdoor‑ready clothing and futuristic sunglasses. Bronson’s design language blends technical materials with bold colours, reflecting his penchant for culinary excess and unconventional style. New Balance’s choice of the 1890 silhouette – a heritage runner known for its layered panels and sturdy build – provides a canvas for experimentation.
Release details and pricing have not been finalized, but the preview suggests the collection will arrive later this year. By combining a heritage running shoe with vivid colours and utilitarian apparel, Action Bronson and New Balance continue to push the boundaries of sneaker culture and appeal to collectors who value both comfort and individuality.
