In this story:

The NBA season is barely a month old, and Zach LaVine is already in playoff mode. The Chicago Bulls forward is averaging over 22 points and four assists per game. While LaVine handles his business on the court, New Balance is keeping him laced up in some of the best basketball shoes on the market.

Last March, LaVine and New Balance announced a multi-year partnership. Since then, the 2x NBA Slam Dunk Champion has worn player-exclusive colorways of New Balance models. Now fans are getting treated to an early gift ahead of the holiday season.

New Balance's All-Star roster of NBA players made a splash at their team's media days by wearing player-exclusive colorways of an unreleased shoe. We later found they were wearing the New Balance Two WXY v3.

The New Balance Two WXY V3 launched in the 'Cerebral' colorway earlier this month. Today, New Balance released the 'Windy City' colorway in honor of LaVine. The design features a black upper, white midsole, and electric red outsole.

Fans can purchase the New Balance Two WXY v3 for $120 on the NB website.

The TWO WXY v3 is inspired by the brain’s firing synapses and designed for basketball’s split-second reactions. A lively, dual-density, energy-returning FuelCell midsole is amplified by ABZORB cushioning strategically placed at the heel and forefoot.

Additionally, the dynamic underfoot feel is balanced by stabilizing features. A midfoot TPU clip adds lateral stability, while a molded textile upper allows for a secure lockdown fit without adding extra weight.

Fans can expect more colorways to release throughout the 2022-23 NBA season. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for updates on this highly-anticipated hoop shoe.
