The Aminé x New Balance 740v2 “Benson Tech” (U740CB2) pays homage to the artist’s high school alma mater, Benson Polytechnic High School, through a design that reflects his personal journey and connection to his roots. This collaboration revives the newly reissued 740 silhouette with a bold yet meaningful approach, honouring the place that first inspired Aminé’s creativity.
Benson Tech’s team colours take centre stage, with royal blue covering the angular synthetic overlays and extending into the ABZORB midsole. Vibrant persimmon orange provides contrast across the open-mesh underlays, ‘N’ logo, and outsole, creating a striking and balanced design. These choices represent the school’s colours and showcase Aminé’s thoughtful approach to storytelling through design.
Further nods to Benson Tech are found in the finer details, including the school crest printed on the insoles and a commemorative tongue tag. The tag highlights Aminé’s graduation year and his involvement in the school’s radio station, KBPS, making this collaboration deeply personal and rooted in his early creative influences.
Finished in Snorkel Blue and Persimmon Orange, the Aminé x New Balance 740v2 “Benson Tech” is a thoughtful blend of heritage and craftsmanship. It celebrates community, creativity, and the lasting impact of formative experiences.
