About the shoe
The New Balance Fresh Foam BB V3 first hit shelves in a pop-up shop in collaboration with designer Bricks & Wood during the 2025 NBA All-Star weekend. It launched in the “A Different Bounce” colorway, whose black and yellow theme gave a nod to San Francisco. The sneaker launched online for the general public in April, with additional colorways releasing in the summer and fall of 2025, including the sleek and classy “Streetball” and the clean and classic “NB Academy.” Similar in design to the Fresh Foam BB V2, the V3 uses a mesh upper with a Fresh Foam midsole and dual TPU shanks.
