The Aminé x New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” is another story-driven collaboration between the Portland-based artist and the Boston-based shoe brand. From his Club Banana collective allusions to callouts sprinkled throughout the pack, there’s a lot to digest on the details Aminé incorporated into his high-top. The shoe dons a blend of fluorescent greens as it weaves in several colorful references for sneakerheads to discover.
The design features mesh overlays with faux-leather glints, neon accents, and glowing lime green for visual interest. From the branding to the sole pods and slashes on the overlay, a self-glowing feature adds character to the shoe. Simply based on that design alone, the Amine x New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” will turn heads. Custom co-branding can be found on the tongue, while library callouts like “Return Your Books on Time” provide cheekiness. The heel even sports a handwritten inspired “Club Banana” that grounds the collab in Aminé’s world.
Book depository inspired boxes round out the creative touches and extend on the “Biblioteca” nod. Portland locals who attended the local activation were even able to bring in a book for donation and get a free pair of the sneaker in return after sending proof of the exchange to Aminé, who supports and encourages these kinds of acts in the community.
Amine New Balance 2000 Release Date
The Aminé x New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” will drop on October 4, 2025. Pairs will be up for grabs online at clubbanana.com, and sign-ups for updates have already begun.
With Aminé’s previous releases being a strong indication of sellout velocity, it is safe to say this one will fly off the shelves as well.
