Momentum around athlete-driven design continues to grow, and this latest project leans into that shift with a clean, purposeful approach. The Parker Valby x New Balance Ellipse arrives with a focus on simplicity, while still tying back to her Florida roots through subtle color choices and personal details.
A white-based upper sets the tone, keeping the look sharp and easy to wear. Blue accents flow from the heel into a wavy midfoot pattern, layered with dotted detailing before reaching the eyelets. That same shade outlines the “N” logo, giving the design a consistent visual thread. The build feels intentional, balancing lightweight construction with everyday versatility.
Things down low and within show another level of personalized touches. There’s her signature on one insole with her logo on the other. As a result, the shoes themselves stay true to who they’re for without getting too busy. Fresh Foam X provides cushioning while riding on a black rubber outsole.
This is another example of shoes leaning into telling athlete’s stories in minimal ways as opposed to excessive execution.
The Parker Valby x New Balance Ellipse will be released March 19, 2026 via NewBalance.com at a price of $145. They will be available in unisex sizes.
