Action Bronson Debuted a New New Balance Silhouette Courtside at the Knicks-Lakers Game

The Lakers were without LeBron James during this weekend’s home match-up against the New York Knicks, but that didn’t stop Luka and the shorthanded LA squad from running over the Knicks, leaving the Crypto Arena crowd with smiles, except for one notable Knicks fan. Action Bronson popped out to watch his hometown Knicks take the L, but before the game tipped off, he posed for a picture with comedy legend Martin Lawrence and showed off a new Baklava x New Balance collab on a silhouette we’ve never seen before.

From Blue Streak to “Blue Chips,” the Baklava x New Balance pair Bronson was wearing in the flicks with Lawrence is an entirely new silhouette, with the tongue logo appearing to read 2811. The silhouette features a classic mesh New Balance base with what looks to be synthetic support panels swooping across the shoe, including in a pointy sort of “M” shape on the toebox.

We first saw Bronson pull up in the silhouette courtside last month at Madison Square Garden. That pair started with a black mesh base, and added Knicks colors with blue on the support panels and orange on the “N” side logo. In LA, Bronson pulled out a second pair, with a black base, grey support panels, and orange “N” logos. This time around, the Baklava 2811 tongue tag is visible to finally give us a name.

As of now, no release info or pricing details exist for the Action Bronson x New Balance 2811 Baklava colorways, but considering Bronson’s past NB collabs, we expect more info on the 2811 silhouette and Baklava collabs soon.
