Stone Island x New Balance Unveil Football-Inspired Collaboration

Stone Island and New Balance continue their creative partnership with a fresh release that celebrates football culture. This latest collaboration fuses New Balance’s deep-rooted athletic performance expertise with Stone Island’s cutting-edge approach to materials and design. The result is a refined duo: the new Furon V8 football boot and a coordinated football kit.

Built for speed and precision, the Furon V8 stands out with its minimalist, monochrome look and aerodynamic form. Its advanced Hypoknit upper is bonded with a polyurethane film, incorporating an integrated ripstop texture for durability. Reflective yarns and twin raised stripes around the collar pay homage to Stone Island’s distinctive visual identity. An off-set lacing system and the newly engineered Speed Ctrl Stud configuration are designed to enhance control and agility. The boot’s soleplate contrasts matte and chrome-electroplated finishes, a nod to Stone Island’s signature fascination with material experimentation.

Completing the collection, the matching football kit — consisting of a jersey, shorts, and socks — extends the same philosophy of performance and refined design. The jersey is crafted from a breathable polyester jacquard with mesh zones and bonded seams for comfort and movement. Subtle raised logos with ripstop textures and reflective elements link the kit visually to the Furon V8, creating a cohesive and unmistakable look on and off the pitch.

The Stone Island x New Balance Furon V8 and Football Kit will officially launch on November 19th, marking the next chapter in the two brands’ ongoing journey to merge innovation, performance, and contemporary style.
