The drone footage was shot by NURK, a world champion drone pilot in the DRL.
“DRL and New Balance are known for disruption, driving innovation through sports and culture, and a commitment to craftsmanship,” said DRL SVP, Head of Partnership Development, Ari Mark. “Just as DRL is creating a new era of sports through custom-built technology, New Balance is designing the future of athletic wear.”
DRL has become a phenomenon, reaching millions of households worldwide, and have also recently collaborated with Gotham FC, the New York/New Jersey based soccer team owned by Kevin Durant, Eli Manning and Sue Bird.
