New Balance 992 Concepts Low Hanging Fruit

Boston-based boutique CONCEPTS and New Balance joined forces to honor pioneering fruit seller Frieda Rapoport Caplan, also known as the "Kiwi Queen", with the New Balance 992 Low Hanging Fruit.


In the 1990s, the entrepreneurial spirit of Frieda Rapoport Caplan helped the kiwi become the most celebrated exotic commercial fruit. In commemoration of this history, the New Balance 992 Low Hanging Fruit takes cues from the kiwi with its hairy brown suede upper with hits of neon green. A strawberry graphic foot bed nods to the intertwining relationship of the two fruits.


The New Balance 992 Low Hanging Fruit released in November of 2021 and retailed for $240.
