At Drift House, we're excited to announce the release of the Museum x New Balance Numeric 272, available now. This highly anticipated collaboration between Museum, founded by skateboarder Tom Karangelov, and New Balance Numeric arrives just in time for the first day of summer and Go Skateboarding Day. Here’s everything you need to know about this unique skate shoe that blurs the lines between art and functionality.
The Design
Tom Karangelov’s vision for the Museum x New Balance Numeric 272 is nothing short of a surrealist art project. The wheat-colored shoe features a corduroy upper with tearaway paneling at the side branding, tongue tag, and rear. As you wear and skate in these shoes, the panels reveal hidden details underneath, keeping your style fresh and intriguing.
The Sole
One of the standout features of the 272 is its sole, inspired by packing tape. This whimsical touch adds a layer of artistic expression to the shoe while ensuring full functionality. The gum vulcanized rubber midsole offers optimal grip and durability, perfect for hitting the streets and skateparks.
Comfort and Performance
Beyond its artistic elements, the Museum x New Balance Numeric 272 is built for performance. The shoe includes a redesigned vulcanized sole for built-in comfort, ensuring a snug fit right out of the box. Additionally, the ABZORB insole provides added cushioning, absorbing impacts and keeping your feet comfortable during long skate sessions.
Museum Branding
Museum branding appears prominently on the rear, tongue tag, and custom insoles, featuring a cardboard box design that ties into the overall theme. This meticulous attention to detail highlights the collaboration’s unique narrative and Karangelov’s creative touch.
