Sneakerhead Alert: Earthgang and New Balance’s “Saturated Suedes” Pack Has Me Counting Down to March 2025

Let me tell you something—there’s nothing quite like that feeling when two worlds you love collide. That’s exactly what happened when I heard about Earthgang partnering with New Balance for their upcoming “Saturated Suedes” pack. March 2025 can’t come soon enough, folks!

I’ve been collecting sneakers since before it was cool (yeah, I’m that person who’ll tell you “I was into these before they blew up”). My apartment has basically turned into a shrine of shoeboxes that my partner constantly threatens to “accidentally” donate. But hey, some people collect stamps; I collect foot art.

Why This Collab Has Me Sweating

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know I’ve been a huge Earthgang fan since their Spillage Village days. I still remember standing in the rain for three hours outside a tiny venue in Atlanta just to hear them perform. Worth every soggy minute. Their colorful, soulful vibe has always been distinctive, and now they’re bringing that same energy to sneakers.

From what I’ve gathered, the “Saturated Suedes” pack will feature bold, vibrant colorways that echo Earthgang’s eclectic musical style. Think rich, deep tones that pop without screaming for attention—kinda like their lyrics, if you think about it.

The 2025 Sneaker Landscape

While we wait for the official drop of the Earthgang collab, New Balance has been making serious moves in the sneaker game. Their “Washed Suede” Pack featuring the 9060 model has been turning heads with its understated yet sophisticated muted colors. I actually got my hands on a pair last week, and the quality is insane—the kind of shoes that make you walk a little slower just so people have more time to notice them.

Then there’s the “Protection Pack” with the 2002R model coming in those earthy tones that somehow make me want to drink an oat milk latte in a pottery studio. I’m not even into pottery, but these shoes have me considering new hobbies.

I walked into a New Balance store yesterday just to see what was new, and the sales guy (shout out to Kevin from the downtown location) gave me a sneak peek at some MADE In UK Spring/Summer 2025 Collection samples. Let me tell you—the 991v2 and 1500 models are straight-up works of art. The craftsmanship on those UK-made joints is next level. It’s like comparing homemade pasta to the boxed stuff.

Color Trends That’ll Dominate 2025

If you’re wondering what colors to rock next year, I’ve noticed silver, deep green, brown, and yellow popping up everywhere. Silver seems to be having a moment—which is perfect timing since I just found a pair of metallic runners in the back of my closet from like 2018. See? If you hoard keep your sneakers long enough, they come back in style!

The deep green trend is particularly interesting to me. It’s not quite olive, not quite forest—it’s somewhere in between, like the color of pine trees just before sunset. I’m guessing Earthgang might incorporate some of these trending colors into their “Saturated Suedes” pack, but with their own unique twist.

Will They Be Worth the Wait?

Look, March 2025 feels like it’s a million years away (especially when you’re as impatient as I am), but some things are worth waiting for. Remember when I camped outside for 14 hours to get those limited Jordan retros back in 2019? My back still hasn’t forgiven me, and honestly, I barely wear those shoes now. But would I do it again? Absolutely.

The beauty of these Earthgang New Balances is that they’ll likely blend current trends with timeless design. New Balance has been killing it with their silhouettes lately—they’ve managed to stay relevant without chasing every fleeting trend or relying purely on nostalgia.

Final Thoughts

I’ve got March 2025 marked in my calendar with not one but THREE reminders set on my phone. I’ve already started setting aside some “emergency sneaker funds” (don’t tell my financial advisor about this category in my budget).

Whether you’re an Earthgang fan, a sneakerhead, or just someone who appreciates good design, this release is definitely one to watch. And if you manage to cop a pair before I do, just know that I’m simultaneously happy for you and incredibly jealous.

Until then, I’ll be over here, reorganizing my sneaker collection for the fifteenth time this year and trying to convince myself that I don’t need another pair. But we all know how that story ends…
