Jaden Smith’s New Balance Collab Is Giving Us Trippy Cottagecore Vibes

Since teaming up with New Balance in 2020, Jaden Smith will be releasing another collection with the sportswear brand. Titled the “Trippy Summer Pack” after his anticipated new song, the upcoming drop is inspired by Smith’s, well, trippy era, as he explores psychedelia through music. It will include two new colorways of Smith’s Vision Racers, a vegan-friendly chunky sneaker made from partially recycled materials.

The collection’s campaign draws imagery from Smith’s visual artwork for his new music, a kaleidoscopic, rainbow-tinted video filled with flowers, mushrooms, and grassy knolls. It’s giving us cottagecore vibes — but if cottagecore was tripping on LSD.

We wouldn’t be surprised if Smith was familiar with the trending aesthetic. After all, his latest outfits, which you can see in the video, below, have been tapping into today’s most coveted items, from tie-dye and graphic sweater vests to kidcore-leaning beaded necklaces.
