New Balance 1890 JJJJound 'Black': June 25, 2026
The New Balance 1890 JJJJound "Black" drops June 25, 2026 at $200, launching 9 AM EST on JJJJound.com. The U18907DN colorway runs a black upper with white trim, the pared-back palette JJJJound is known for. A wider retail release has not been confirmed, so this starts as a JJJJound.com exclusive.

Where to cop
JJJJound.com is the primary channel and, for now, the only confirmed one. Past JJJJound x New Balance drops have sold out in minutes, so prepare your account, size, and payment details before 9 AM EST. New Balance occasionally extends JJJJound releases to its own site and select stockists days later, but nothing wider is confirmed for the "Black." Watch Sole Retriever and JJJJound's channels in the days before June 25 in case additional retailers are added.
What we know about the design
The 1890 is a heritage running shoe with a layered mesh-and-suede upper and a tall, cushioned midsole. JJJJound keeps its usual restraint here: black across the upper, white on the midsole and trim, and minimal branding. The "Black" is the most rotation-friendly pair in the 2026 run, which also includes a Grey/Yellow colorway. If you land a pair, log it at purchase so your cost basis and condition are on record. The Sneaker Collection Checklist covers what to capture, and if you are deciding whether to wear or store it, see when to sell vs hold a sneaker. For another New Balance drop this summer, check the 990v4 "Moonbeam/Tangerine Heat".
