BOSTON, MA — Unless you were actively refreshing the rapper Action Bronson's Instagram page on Wednesday night, chances are you didn't get a ticket for his New Balance pop-up.

The New York-based artists, television personality and, now, designer, will perform at the event at New Balance's Newbury Street location, which will also give those who managed to score a ticket the opportunity to purchase the limited release.

Bronson will perform along with Daringer at the event, according to his Instagram post. The pop-up sold out within the hour that he posted it.
