Two Fresh Baklava 2811 Colorways Are Headed Your Way This Holiday Season
Action Bronson and New Balance are adding two more colorways to the Baklava 2811 line: Clear Sky/Limelight (U28111IV) and Amaranth/Limoges (U28118NQ). Both are priced at $180 in unisex sizing and are slated for Holiday 2026, with Bronson’s own webstore, New Balance and select retailers named as the places to shop. An exact drop date has not been announced yet.
What each colorway looks like
The Clear Sky/Limelight pair is the loud one. Light blue meets neon green, with a black leather wrap across the toe and a loosely knit mesh toe box finished with deep blue stitching. Semi-translucent green TPU overlays run along the sides, and the blue tongue carries the Baklava 2811 branding.
Amaranth/Limoges goes in a moodier direction. Purple leather sits on the toe and lower sidewalls over a lighter purple mesh base, with maroon stitching at the toe. A see-through blue overlay on the lateral quarter picks up the N logo, and the teal tongue adds a pop of contrast with Baklava and New Balance branding above the laces.
Where the 2811 fits in the Baklava story
The 2811 is Bronson’s signature New Balance model, and this is not the first batch. Earlier colorways such as Mikročpske, Blackjacques and The Whisperer set the tone: techy, slightly odd proportions, and colors you either love instantly or need a minute with. These two follow the same playbook, which is why collectors who missed earlier pairs are already watching for the restock details.

Who it suits
This is a shoe for people who want something that does not look like every other lifestyle runner. The mesh and TPU mix reads as trail-inspired, but the colors keep it firmly in streetwear territory. If you usually wear a New Balance 2002R or 9060 for everyday comfort, the 2811 will feel like the louder cousin, though sizing details have not been shared, so check New Balance’s own size notes at release.
Where to buy
New Balance lists Bronson’s webstore, New Balance itself and select online and in-store retailers for the Holiday 2026 launch. Because both pairs are tied to a signature artist line, expect limited quantities and a fast sell-out on launch day. Keep an eye on the official New Balance site for the exact date.
