90s-Inspired Casual Skater Shoes

New Balance Updates the Numeric 1010 Sneaker Model

— October 11, 2021 — Lifestyle
New Balance introduces new tonal iterations of the Numeric 1010 sneaker model with three new colorway options that are ready for the Fall season. The sneakers draw inspiration from the 90s and are the first pro model designed for skateboarder Tiago Lemons.

The shoe boasts nostalgic elements with an upper made from a blend of suede and mesh materials across the upper. It sits on top of the FuelCell foam foundation at the midsole for a bouncy feel and maximized comfort. Additionally, the sneaker also has a durable rubber cup material at the outsole and lacing enclosure. The colorway includes gray with white, black and blue, or black and white, all of which have a gum or teal sole.
