Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1890 Joe Freshgoods Naughty Things trainers are designed for adult collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate storytelling-driven footwear that merges cultural narrative with high-end aesthetics. This collaboration offers a distinctively moody, expressive identity through its bold purple and black color palette, providing a structured, performance-inspired base suitable for lifestyle wear. While the sneaker serves as a powerful statement piece, its specialized aesthetic means it may be harder to integrate into minimalist or strictly neutral outfits compared to standard running shoes.

Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the material retain its shape and minimize permanent creasing.
Visible dust or lint on dark materials
Use a lint roller or a dry microfiber cloth to gently lift surface debris from the black and purple sections.
Stiffness after storage
Briefly flex the shoe manually or wear them for a short period to allow the materials to warm up and regain their natural flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their expressive look, keep the following in mind:
- Fit: These trainers utilize a standard adult fit. It is recommended to use your typical sizing for New Balance performance silhouettes.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water solution on a soft cloth, avoiding aggressive scrubbing to preserve the color depth of the purple sections.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant purple tones from fading over time.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather and mesh to shield the materials from unexpected spills and environmental exposure.
