@amine has officially unveiled his collaboration with New Balance on the 740v2. Inspired by his high school, Benson Polytechnic in Portland, Oregon, this sneaker means a lot to the rapper.

The collaboration between the Portland-based artist and New Balance was revealed on a billboard. The sneaker’s vibrant color palette combines bright blue and orange, representing the school colors and Aminé’s unique style. The New Balance 740v2 is an updated version of the 2010 model with outdoor-inspired details. It features rope laces with toggle closures, and the pair comes in a shoebox resembling an old Apple MacBook, a subtle nod to Aminé’s academic journey. The box exterior is decorated with stickers, and the interior showcases a keyboard-like design.

Alongside this collaboration, Aminé will donate $25,000 to Benson Tech’s KBPS Radio program to help graduates cover their educational expenses. The pair is available today!
