Aminé has teamed up with New Balance once again to introduce the BTEE740 sneakers, a fresh take on the brand’s 740v2 model. This collaboration is a tribute to Aminé’s high school, Benson Polytechnic, and reflects his journey from student to celebrated musician.
The BTEE740 sneakers are named after Benson Polytechnic, the Portland high school where Aminé’s musical journey began. The design pays homage to the school’s colors, featuring a striking combination of royal blue and orange. The sneakers also incorporate unique elements that reference the school’s Radio KBPS program, which played a significant role in Aminé’s early career.
The BTEE740 sneakers boast a vibrant blue mesh upper with orange leather trim, creating a bold and eye-catching look3. The toggle lacing system adds a modern touch, while the co-branding on the tongue and heel tab highlights the collaboration between Aminé and New Balance4. The midsole features “BTEE” branding, further emphasizing the connection to Benson Polytechnic. 
Aminé’s collaboration with New Balance goes beyond just footwear. To honor his alma mater, Aminé has donated $25,000 to graduates of the Radio KBPS program to help with their college expenses. This gesture underscores his commitment to supporting the next generation of creatives and giving back to the community that shaped him.
The Aminé x New Balance BTEE740 sneakers are set to release on November 1, 20243. Fans can purchase them through Aminé’s ClubBanana.com, NewBalance.com, and select retailers.
