New Balance introduces a look at its latest tonal iteration for the 509 sneaker model with a muted palette of white and grey. It is now available for purchase and was unveiled as a part of the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME collaboration during Paris Fashion Week.
With the first launch in Asian markets, the sneaker is prepping for a wider launch to bring attention to the retro running shoe. The upper is comprised of swooped quarter panels. In terms of the construction, it is made with an open-knit mesh base foundation for a breathable feel. The model rests on top of a borrowed sole unit from the brand's 740 silhouette. Branding makes its way on the lateral side in the form of the 'N' logo in an outlined aesthetic.
