These New Balance Sneakers Use Cherry Wine as Color Inspiration

These rich-hued Cherry Wine sneakers are perfect for the end of patio season.

This summer, New Balance seemed to be beer-obsessed, releasing a Real Ale color pack celebrating locally brewed British beers as well as beer can-inspired Budweiser and Pabst Blue Ribbon sneakers. But with the end of patio season, sippers move inside and the focus shifts from cold, crisp seasonal brews to warm mulled wines and stomach-warming scotches.

These Cherry Wine New Balance 1400 sneakers are the perfect transitional shoe: in color and protection, they're perfect for the lead-in to colder weather, but they're lightweight and colorful enough for the end of summer. Just like the fruity, full-bodied beverage they're named for, these Cherry Wine New Balance shoes celebrate the season that's ending and the one to come.
