New Balance introduces a new version of the 860v2 sneaker model -- the silhouette made its first appearance back in 2011 as a performance-inspired lifestyle model. The 860v2 now has a selection of mainline colorways and has gone through various collaborative efforts.
This time around, it has a neutral pink-brown palette and was unveiled online on February 22nd. It starts with a breathable base foundation of mesh crafting the upper and the retro N logo details the side of the shoe. It all rests on top of the N-ERGY outsole unit. Other accents include the branding that can be seen stamped on the insole and on the tongue tab in a contrasting tone with 860v2 on the side of the heel.
