The New Balance Craft Work Collection is Exclusive to Foot Locker and Champs Sports

Published April 16, 2025

Foot Locker and Champs Sports have been home to an array of exclusive products from various brands in the footwear world. In the last few months, we’ve seen both retailers play host to a range of New Balance, adidas, and Asics products, but they’re revisiting their relationship with the Boston-based label for an April release. Encompassing the 740 and 9060, NB is giving the Craft Work Collection to the retailers.

Press images here showcase a 740, two 9060s, a 725, and a 2002R. However, the 725 and the 2002R are exclusively available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with the entire collection already released overseas earlier this month. For the US, we’re getting two colorways of the 9060 and one 740. Earthy, workwear-inspired color palettes evoke a sense of premium craftsmanship, something New Balance has long been celebrated for.

One 9060 comes in a Flat Taupe Light Sparrow combo, while another uses a Flat Taupe Copper color scheme. For the 740s, NB coats the sneaker in a tan-based colorway with grey accents and pops of orange and white. As for the construction, all pairs come with their traditional makeup, a mesh base, synthetic leather (on the 740), and hairy suede (on the 9060). Each pair comes with a tonal midsole and outsole.

The New Balance Craft Work Collection will release exclusively through Foot Locker and Champs Sports on April 17, 2025. Available in men’s, women’s, and GS sizing, the retail price ranges between $85 and $150 depending on the model and color.
