New Balance Desert Heat Collection 2025 Foot Locker Exclusive

New Balance is dropping the Desert Heat Collection on August 28th, only through Foot Locker. Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is the face of the campaign, photographed in the desert with pairs that fit right into the scenery.
The highlight is the 1906R. One colorway mixes black and blue mesh with bright hits of yellow, green, and pink. It’s loud but balanced. The second pair is a women’s exclusive, leaning heavy into red and pink with black details. Both versions keep the layered 1906R shape but push it in different directions.
And then there’s the New Balance 1000. This one comes in black, pink, and green, almost giving off a watermelon vibe. Suede and ripstop materials toughen the shoe up, while leather panels keep it from going over the top. You can see why the 1000 keeps gaining traction—early-2000s sneakers have a way of sliding back into today’s style rotation.
The New Balance Desert Heat Pack lands August 28th at Foot Locker, and Champs already has some pairs listed. Good luck grabbing your size—these kinds of retro runners rarely stay on shelves.
