Action Bronson’s current chapter with New Balance centers around his newfound passion for fitness, with the Polo Nike Dry manga curta preto runner and M10 Minimus trail shoe comprising an impending collaborative capsule this November. However, simply releasing performance footwear isn’t all Action and New Balance and doing to promote wellness. Ahead of the New York City Marathon, the Boston brand has officially announced the formation of the Baklava Performance Team; a collective of talent tasked with promoting healthy, active lifestyles.
The Baklava Performance Team is made up of fitness-minded individuals from a diverse variety of backgrounds, which is only fitting given Action’s broad portfolio himself. Thai Richards, Patricia Zabala, Austin Smith, Justin Nealis, Colin Daring, Taylor Brown, Tom De Giuli, Alessio Asaro, and Brendan Dunne of Complex Sneakers are among those on the Baklava Performance team, all of whom will be participating in this year’s New York City Marathon on November 3rd.
Along with the announcement comes updated release information regarding the aforementioned Polo Nike Dry manga curta preto and M10 Minimus; both shoes will release via specializinginlife.com on November 2nd, not November 1st as initially reported. While this marks the inaugural Baklava Performance release, the formation of an official team suggests Action might have additional fitness-centric New Balance releases in his chamber.
