Stone Island and New Balance have unveiled their latest collaboration, a special-edition Furon v8 football boot and apparel capsule designed to celebrate innovation, craftsmanship and the connection between performance and culture.
Dubbed the Stone Island x New Balance Furon v8 “Santan Cup” edition, the collection introduces a sleek metallic green colorway featuring a lightweight Hypoknit upper and nylon outsole engineered for elite performance. Alongside the boots, the brands have launched coordinated technical jerseys, track jackets and shorts that echo Stone Island’s signature military-inspired aesthetic.
The collection continues a partnership that began in 2021 and has included standout products, such as the RC Elite V2 running shoe and football kits for the Santan Cup, a creative crossover tournament celebrating football subculture.
Why it matters
This collaboration illustrates how luxury-inspired sportswear continues to shape the football market. By blending performance innovation with streetwear credibility, Stone Island and New Balance are targeting a new generation of players and fans who value style as much as function.
For the sporting goods industry, such crossovers highlight the strategic importance of co-branded storytelling in football’s growing lifestyle segment, where global players like Adidas, Nike, and Puma are also competing to merge fashion and function.
