Baltimore-based retail company YCMC unveils its own exclusive iteration of the New Balance 990v3 sneaker model for the season. This time, it is inspired by the great outdoors as the staple silhouette is detailed with earthy tones at the base foundation and then marked with pops of color.
The shoes boast modern themes while also drawing elements from their archival look as well. It starts off with a dusty green tonal base foundation in suede materials along the uppers and is complete with breathable black mesh to add some breathability. It allows for motion and durability before being detailed with bright touches of purpose along the quilted tongues and heel caps made from plastic. This is done in a speckled teal to add another pop of color.
