New Balance Maxey v1

Tyrese Maxey Gets His Own Silhouette

The New Balance Maxey v1 is Tyrese Maxey's first signature basketball shoe, designed to work as a performance model without looking trapped on the court. Its Light Arctic Grey and black debut keeps the palette restrained, letting the unusual shape carry the identity.

Familiar New Balance Shapes, Reworked

The upper lacing takes cues from the New Balance 2002, while sculpted outriggers echo the 9060. Those references connect the shoe to the brand's lifestyle catalog, but they have been adapted around a low basketball profile rather than copied onto a retro runner.

A Signature Without a Giant Logo

New Balance wanted the model to remain recognizable without relying on traditional branding. A flying NB badge appears at the heel, and soft blue accents connect to the blue tag that will recur across future Maxey releases, giving the line a quieter signature code of its own.

Built for the Tunnel and the Hardwood

The v1's mix of court tooling and familiar streetwear cues matches Maxey's place as both an athlete and a style presence. It launches October 2 for $130 under style code UMAX2NK, opening a signature line that already has a visual language ready for later colorways.
