Patriotic Suede Casual Sneakers

New Balance's 992 Shoe Model Gets a Vibrant Colorway

The 992 shoe model by New Balance gets a new colorway palette that is bound to grab attention. Embodying a patriotic theme, the shoe is adorned in bright hues of red, blue, and white. It showcases the rich blue color at the toe boxes in mesh materials, continuing through to the midfoot, the forefoot, heel section, and mudguards in a suede material overlaying on top.

The bright red offers a bold contrast and can be seen at the N logo on the side of the shoe, the forefoot accents, and the collars. Notably, the N logo is done up in a chenille material for a unique textural contrast. It all sits on top of a white and red midsole and black treading.
