Emmy-nominated actress and producer Storm Reid will be teaming up with New Balance to release her very own signature New Balance CT302. Storm Reid has been a New Balance brand ambassador since October 2021 and this release is set to be her inaugural sneaker launch with the brand. Aside from dropping sneaker collabs with New Balance, the partnership also empowers Reid to fosters essential discussions on representation, self-expression, and empowerment.

The Storm Reid x New Balance CT302 features an upper with nylon underlays and suede overlays decorated with custom Storm banded tongue labels, sockliner, and lace aglets. Below you will find campaign images of the release inspired by Atlanta’s vibrant early 2000s scene as it looks to honor the city’s cultural impact and Reid’s personal growth there. Storm Reid shares, “My first New Balance collaboration is truly special, reflecting my Atlanta childhood. I’m grateful for their support in designing this shoe and capturing my roots and hometown culture.”

Retailing for $100, the Storm Reid x New Balance CT302 is set to release on August 4th on NewBalance.com
