Rosalía and New Balance has joined forces.
Music and fashion lovers may instantly recognize the viral TikTok and Instagram sound of “Bizcochito,” even if they aren’t familiar with the artist behind it.
That voice belongs to Rosalía, a Grammy-winning musician from Spain known for breaking genre boundaries.
Her sound ranges from Latin flamenco pop to experimental pop and R&B.
In 2023, she expanded her global reach through a high-profile collaboration with BLACKPINK’s LISA on the track “New Woman.”

New Balance as Rosalía’s Fashion Statement
Beyond her music, Rosalía has also caught attention with her daring fashion choices.
In May, she was spotted at a Met Gala fitting wearing a soft white skirt and casual T-shirt, boldly styled with the New Balance 442 PRO FG V2 football shoes.
This unexpected pairing of feminine and masculine aesthetics showcased Rosalía’s trademark duality and originality.
Recognizing her cultural influence and fearless individuality, the brand appointed Rosalía as their newest global ambassador.
Chris Davis, Brand President and Chief Marketing Officer of New Balance, explained that Rosalía embodies the spirit of independence that the brand has championed since 1906.
He emphasized that she leads trends rather than follows them.
With this partnership, the brand aims to focus on storytelling and product innovation, using “standing out” as a shared value.

As part of the collaboration, Rosalía introduced the New Balance 204L.
It’s a low-profile lifestyle sneaker inspired by retro runners.

Rosalía and Fashion is Unseparable
Rosalía shared that her passion for fashion and design has grown over the years.
She expressed deep appreciation for New Balance, having admired the brand for a long time.
She saw this collaboration as a meaningful step, especially since the brand successfully blends sports and culture.
To accompany the release, New Balance partnered with iconic American visual artist Alex Prager to produce a cinematic noir-style campaign video.
In the film, Rosalía plays the main character, carrying a mysterious box into the brand’s Boston headquarters.
The box reveals a custom logo representing the partnership, a symbol of artistic fusion between brand and artist.
This campaign goes beyond product promotion.
It signals a strategic shift for New Balance, as the brand evolves from a performance-based label to a cultural storyteller.
In Indonesia, Martina Harianda Mutis, Sports Brand Marketing General Manager of MAP Active, highlighted how Rosalía represents a generation that embraces self-expression without limits.
She noted that the collaboration reflects a reality where sport, lifestyle, and culture naturally intersect.
With the rise of sportstyle, this partnership shows how brands like New Balance can connect more deeply with global and local audiences alike.
Through this collaboration, New Balance continues to blur the line between high-performance gear and high-fashion identity.
Meanwhile, Rosalía solidifies her influence beyond music, stepping boldly into the world of lifestyle innovation and design.
