New Balance x Action Bronson 1890 'Hornet Tusk' U18901DP Men's & Women's Sneakers

The New Balance x Action Bronson 1890 'Hornet Tusk' (style code U18901DP) is a collaborative unisex retro runner from the rapper, chef, and longtime New Balance collaborator Action Bronson. The Hornet Tusk colorway pairs off-white ivory tones with wasp-yellow and dark accents across a layered mesh and suede upper, giving the 1890 a louder, more collectible personality than the general release versions.

Why you'll want this pair

• Limited collaboration: Part of Action Bronson's ongoing New Balance partnership, which means smaller production runs and real resale interest.
• Distinctive colorway: Tusk ivory with hornet yellow hits, a combination you will not find on the standard 1890 lineup.
• Layered technical upper: Breathable mesh with suede and synthetic overlays for structure and texture.
• Cushioned all day: ABZORB cushioning in the midsole absorbs impact through commutes, errands, and long hours on pavement.
• Sculpted retro profile: A chunky runner shape that sits well under wide-leg denim, cargos, and track pants.
