In the campaign, Rosalía also debuts the New Balance 204L, a sleek, retro-inspired lifestyle sneaker with premium suede overlays and early 2000s tech details. The 204L is set to launch globally in July through official New Balance outlets.
Speaking on the collaboration, Rosalía shared, 'My love for fashion and design keeps growing. I've always admired New Balance's ability to connect sport with culture, and becoming an ambassador is both exciting and meaningful for me.'
