[LINK IN BIO] NYC will always have a special place in J Balvin’s heart 🥹🫶 We caught up with the Colombian superstar in SoHo, where he told us that NYC was one of the first places to give him a chance as an artist—and the first city to ever play his music on the radio. Now, years later, he’s back in the city that believed in him early, this time bringing a piece of Colombia with him 🇨🇴 J Balvin and Colombian fashion house Vélez brought their latest collection, “Artisan Gang in The City,” to NYC for New York Fashion Week, celebrating Colombian craftsmanship and reimagining cultural icons like the arriero, carriel and poncho through contemporary fashion. From Medellín to New York, it’s a full-circle moment for an artist who says this city helped start it all. #mysecretnyc #popculture 🗓️ September 11–13, 2026 ⏰ 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM / 7:00 PM 📍 Shopify NY, 131 Greene St 🎥 Interviewed by @tonialexandxr
