TLDR: The Action Bronson x New Balance 1890 ‘Hornet Tusk’ features a crocheted upper, eye-catching ABZORB pods and signature BAKLAVA branding. Release on 16 February for €210. Following on from the ‘Cyborg Tears,’ Action Bronson is back with the 1890 ‘Hornet Tusk,’ the second colourway in his new signature chapter with New Balance. Instead of classic mesh, Bronson has opted for a crocheted, doily-inspired material this time around – a personal tribute to his family, which he shared himself on social media.
The white crochet base is complemented by curved overlays in the forefoot, while bold accents come into play in the rear. A gold heel counter, blue details, yellow elements and two-tone rope laces create the typical, slightly playful Bronson look. The distinctive, semi-transparent ‘BAKLAVA’ badge is once again featured on the tongue.
Underneath the upper is a full-length ABZORB midsole with neon-coloured pods that provide strong cushioning and a smooth roll. The modern geometry of the sole combines comfort with everyday practicality, making the 1890 clearly recognisable as a lifestyle model with performance DNA.
