Almost two years after the sneaker returned to shelves, the 740N is getting a major co-sign from Canada’s greatest.

When the 740 first launched, it was intended to serve as a daily performance runner. The lightweight sneaker now has a new life in casual wear. The collaborations have been sparse. That said, the sneaker has become a constant on the shelves of New Balance retailers across North America. The 740 checks off all the boxes of a ready-to-wear runner. This, of course, has allowed it to become a staple among people looking for a comfortable everyday option.

That versatility and wearability are what make the sneaker such a great fit for JJJJound’s latest collaboration with New Balance.

JJJJound’s idea of a perfect sneaker is something that stands out through its utility. It isn’t, generally, about making the flashiest sneakers on the market. For them, it is about making a sneaker that you can grab for any occasion. The game is versatility, which is where the 740 thrives.

For their collaboration, JJJJound is gracing the sneaker with its iconic  Mushroom colorway. The tech runner is grounded through the iconic usage of warm colors in brown and off-white. The twist up JJJJound’s sleeve, though, is the usage of red and dark navy accents throughout the sneakers. Though both colors do not often find themselves on JJJJound’s sneakers in this brown palette, they blend perfectly into the design of the 740. Thus, the sneaker has the classic look of past JJJJound collaborations- while still having its own unique details.

The JJJJound x New Balance 740N drops on Thursday, July 30th at 9 AM EST via JJJJound.com.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
