For a limited time this month in London, New Balance is celebrating its legacy color and the practicality of its urban running shoes with the Grey Days newspaper kiosk pop-up.
Set up at Seven Dials, Covent Garden, the New Balance Grey Days pop-up invites passersby to pick up a newspaper with a crossword puzzle on the back, and those who return with it solved correctly get a chance to draw a counter from a concealed bag. Daily, winners will walk away with a New Balance gift card redeemable in-store for a free pair of shoes.
Outside of this pop-up, and globally, Grey Days products can be purchased to continue the celebration of simple, timeless style.
