Todd Snyder celebrates Pride Month in collaboration with New Balance once again with the joint Love Sneakers that take the iconic 997 silhouettes as the base. The summery color palette features hues of cedar quartz, white peach, as well as copper rose hues as well.
The uppers are constructed from a blend of suede materials accented with perforated leather. There are also branding emblems that nod to New Balance and 'Made in USA' details as well. There is also a rainbow motif embroidered to nod to the overall theme of the sneakers. Additional details include the reflective strip at the heel and the ENCAP cushioning technology to add both comfort and support to the soles.
