New Balance Numeric 480 x Jeremy Fish

Jeremy Fish, born in 1974 in Albany, New York, is an American illustrator and artist who has resided in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco since enrolling in art school in 1994. Upon graduating in 1997, he began working in graphic printing for the skateboarding industry. In 2011, he created the sculpture and mural "Silly Pink Bunnies" (whose initials appear on a metal buckle on the laces of this New Balance Numeric 480) at the corner of Haight Street and Laguna Street in San Francisco, featuring a large pink rabbit head with its mouth wide open to reveal a skull. The mural was removed in 2013 due to construction on that street. A crowdfunding campaign was launched, raising over $50,000 to erect a bronze bunny near the original location, though it ultimately found a home at the Haight Street Art Center. In 2015, he was named the first artist-in-residence at San Francisco City Hall.
