Rounder of KITH, Ronnie Fieg works in collaboration with New Balance as his latest endeavor as he presents the new Pistachio colorway palette seen on the New Balance 993 sneaker model. This time around, the iconic silhouette is detailed with a construction of rich suede materials and mesh to add some breathability. It is designed with a soft green color throughout the upper, as referenced by the namesake.
In contrast, there is the application of shell-white tones that are seen along the sole unit and laces over the forefoot. Additional details include the branding on the lateral side of the shoe in the form of the layered N logo accent and the "NB" seen on the rear midsole.
