New Balance Numeric is linking up with Tokyo-based streetwear brand Challenger for a fresh take on the NM440 silhouette, dropping exclusively at Challenger’s flagship store (and online store) on August 15.
The 440v2 has is unarguably one of New Balance Numeric’s most versatile skate shoes, mixing vintage running-inspired style with legit modern-day skate functionality. We all trust Numeric at this point, and for good reason—they continue to deliver. Get a closer look at this new collab below, along with all the details that matter.

With Challenger’s name stamped on it, this collab is bound to be limited and will move fast. If you’re trying to secure a pair, mark your calendar for 8/15 and be ready to hit the Challenger site—because once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. (Or, well, until they link up for another collab.)
Just FYI—there are some details and rules you should know before copping a pair of these limited kicks. Here’s what the folks at Challenger mentioned on Instagram:
