01 ABZORB 1890
The sneaker release utilises the original 2002 sole unit, featuring full-length SBS ABZORB cushioning to ensure comfort without compromising the streamlined form of the shoe.
The upper pairs micro ripstop mesh with no-sew synthetic overlays, creating a distinctive wave cutout construction, with a high-frequency welded reflective “teardrop” detail at the toe.

02 OFF PITCH: APPAREL
The release includes a limited-edition collection of apparel and accessories, which are defined by treated surfaces and functional construction.
Outerwear centres on the Nylon Prismatico-TC hooded jacket, inspired by the iconic Mussola Prismatica. Constructed from a lightweight nylon tela bonded to a finely grooved polyurethane film, it creates a liquid, three-dimensional appearance.
03 ON PITCH: FOOTBALL KIT
The football kit is comprised of footwear, apparel, and accessories including a training bag and football.
The offering reflects Stone Island's ongoing exploration of material transformation, combined with New Balance's on-pitch expertise for a collection with an emphasis on performance.
Two styles of football boots offer complementary approaches to performance. The Furon Elite FG v9 is designed for speed, with a one-piece mesh upper and lightweight outsole, featuring a heat-reactive artwork that changes with temperature.
The Tekela Elite Low FG v5 focuses on control, with a structured upper incorporating grip elements and an anatomical construction for added stability and touch in play. Faded perimeter studs are achieved through semi-transparent green injection, combined with a navy back paint, while the heel features a chrome-like finish on the turf-facing side.
