Full details
The New Balance 1890 Joe Freshgoods Naughty Things is designed for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors who value narrative-driven design and cultural storytelling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 1890 trainers in top condition, it is recommended to treat the upper materials with a protective repellent spray immediately upon unboxing, ensuring it is compatible with the specific textiles used. When cleaning, avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing, which can compromise the structural integrity and the intentional finish of the collaboration. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a slightly damp cloth for spot cleaning. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple and black pigments from fading over time.
