AURALEE works on yet another collaborative project alongside New Balance and this time around highlights the XC-72 sneaker model in two new colorway palettes. The first capsule launched back in January and this time, the sneaker gets a Dark Brown colorway and a Blue colorway option.
Similar to the first launch between the two, these also boast an overall monochromatic look. The construction highlights smooth leather materials at the underlying detail. It is then overlaid with suede materials on top to create a textural touch to the upper half of the shoe. Branding then details the left inserts of every pair of sneakers. The collaborative new tonal shoes are set to launch officially on October 13th.
