NB Relaunch Flagship
Released in 2019, OMN1S arrived in New Balance Basketball's modern relaunch centerpiece, arriving when the brand re-entered serious NBA performance with Kawhi Leonard and a fresh design language. The design intent centered on showing that New Balance could build a premium modern hoop shoe with good bounce, support, and standout style. Notable versions or talking points included its role in relaunching NB hoops and the instantly recognizable angular silhouette. In community memory, the shoe is usually remembered for good support and traction with a fun, balanced FuelCell ride. It also helps mark a specific turning point inside that line, because the shoe shows what the brand prioritized at that moment rather than simply copying the previous release.
