Silver Commemorative Kicks

The New Balance Atmos and X-Girl Sneakers are Rad

There was a time when New Balance was only for those among us who needed a nice pair of supportive running shoes. Now, New Balance shoes are super cool, even more so with the launching of their atmos and X-girl sneakers -- the most awesome of kick collaborations.

These ballin’ bad girls are created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of New Balance and are inspired by the future. They feature a wicked silver colorway that has flat purple laces, midsole, inner and outer lining. The atmos and X-girl sneakers are really, really cool.
