The New Balance Fresh Foam BB saw its initial release at the start of 2023, but was quickly pulled off shelves after a brief trial revealed quality control issues on the eyelets and sole. While the shoe resurfaced a few months later with improved tooling to remedy the problem, New Balance now looks to start fresh with the debut of the Fresh Foam BB v2.
The shape of the BB v2 remains relatively consistent on the new iteration, with key differences being the removal of the top eyelet and a more robust sole to prevent more QC issues. Suede overlays make their way onto the upcoming pair, replacing the TPU material seen on its predecessor, while an oversized N logo offers a more imposing focal point. The new midsole down below adopts a topographic style pattern, extending down into the outsole to complete the shoe.
