Stone Island Remixes the New Balance Numeric 272
Stone IslandandNew Balancehave continued to work closely together in recent years, typically offering at least two footwear collaborations a year. The duo came together earlier this year for a'Raso Gommato'colorway of the 998 sneaker in March. Now, they're already back with more, pairing the nautical-inspiredStone Island Marinadiffusion line with the skate crew over atNew Balance Numeric.
This time around, Stone Island Marina has put its own twist on the Numeric 272. Typically a budget-oriented option for skaters, this rendition of the shoe sees it elevated in several unique ways. For starters, its upper has been split into two distinct parts: a lower level in gray suede and an upper one that features a white textile. While the lateral side of the midfoot features a gray 'N' logo, the medial forgoes its inclusion in favor of two ventilation eyelets offering breathability just above the off-white vulcanized sole. Tonal Stone Island Marina branding is present at the textured tongue while the heel hosts callouts to both brands in blue.
At the time of writing, neither Stone Island nor New Balance have shared when their collaborative take on the Numeric 272 will be dropping. Stone Island has teased that more information will be coming soon, indicating that it will likely arrive soon via Stone Island, New Balance, and select retailers, likely at a cost far above the model's standard $75 USD price point. Stay tuned for updates, including a complete look at the sneaker, as we await more details from the duo.

41-year-old American lives on $3,633 a month in France: 'I wish I had the courage to move sooner'
When Adriel Sanders first visited Paris in 2017, she immediately felt at home, she says. "It instantly clicked. I was like, 'This is your home. This is where you're supposed to be in the world and this is where you will always be. I knew I had to move to Paris," Sanders tells CNBC Make It. Sanders returned to Paris several times while continuing to work as a general counsel for a publicly traded company in Washington, D.C. At the time, she was earning $286,656 a year and lived in a studio apartment where she paid approximately $3,000 a month in rent, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. "I didn't enjoy the work and the expectation to work all the time and I will probably be one of the only attorneys who says it, but I don't think it's that intellectually stimulating," Sanders says. "I was deeply and truly miserable at the very depths of my little heart and little soul. I knew that it was not sustainable." Three years after that initial trip to Paris, Sanders quit her job, broke her lease and started the process of obtaining a French visa. She landed in the city the day before France closed its borders due to the covid-19 pandemic. "The slowness of the world meant that France sped up. We were all operating from the same level of confusion, so the good thing is that I was confused by what was happening, but so was everyone else," Sanders says. "I arrived the day before the lockdown, so there was no one and it was a complete dystopia." When Sanders first moved, she lived in a few short-term rentals before signing a lease for a one-bedroom apartment. She paid 1,550 euros or $1,815 USD and lived in it for two years. Since moving out of that apartment, Sanders has been living in a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment where she pays $2,540 USD a month in rent. Since Sanders signed a lease for what is called an "unfurnished apartment," it meant that she had to spend money buying her own kitchen cabinets, stove and washing machine. She estimates that she spent about $5,000 on the kitchen and close to another $10,000 to make the place really feel like home. In addition to rent, Sanders spends, on average, about 933 euros or $1,093 USD on expenses, which include household bills like cable, internet, renter's insurance, dry cleaning, electricity and gas, private health insurance, groceries, and a Navigo transportation card. She also has an annual subscription to the Louvre, which costs 95 euros a year and a second museum card that can add an extra 50-100 euros a year to her expenses. Sanders also pays 1,069.20 euros, or approximately $1,252, annually to a guarantor service, which allows her to continue renting in France. Now that Sanders has been living in her apartment for over three years, she plans to revisit her search for a home to buy. She started looking two years ago, but stopped after touring many places that she felt were overpriced. "With the advice of friends who have recently purchased in Paris, I am determined again. Finding the right place will be a grind, but I am tired of renting in Paris," Sanders says. I desperately need more space and I want to get a dog." While Sanders wants to set down roots in Paris, she also hopes to eventually buy a home in the countryside too. "I don't think it would be nice to put a dog like a golden retriever in central Paris, where he doesn't have a backyard, so that is my dream," she says. Living in France has also inspired Sanders to finally pursue her real dreams of starting her own fashion brand, Adriel Felise. Sanders says she's taking $200,000 from her business account and $70,000 from her personal savings and putting that towards her new business venture. That money and her income from content creation is helping fund her dreams. "I love fashion and I'm so happy that I can now just say that and be upfront about it because for so long it was treated as something that made me less serious," she says. Sanders is self-funding the production of her initial samples and prototypes, but hopes to raise at least $2 million and have her 10-piece collection ready for launch in 2026. When Sanders was working as a lawyer, she used to take walks around her office building and dream about starting a fashion line, and now seeing it come to life still doesn't feel real. "There's still a part of me that strives and pushes for more so I don't know if I'm fully ready to say I'm proud but I feel like I'm actually happy, which I wasn't for so long and that's huge for me," she says. "My goal and desire is to inspire women — particularly black and brown women — to just pursue their dreams and goals. When they do it does not matter. The most important thing is that they be bold, move wisely, and just go for it." Since Sanders has been in France for about five years now, she says she doesn't think she'll ever go back to living in the United States. "I can't live there. I can't function like that. I can't go back to corporate America and holding my tongue every five seconds every day," she says. "I wish I had had the courage to move sooner. I wish I had the courage to do it after my first semester of law school to either drop out or enroll in business school and do something different that would have given me more options."
