The latest 500 sneaker pack to drop from New Balance highlights a sleek tonal language through the use of its bright palette. The silhouette is made using shiny patent leather materials, applied in a color-blocking look using bright pinks and greens.
These may be one of the boldest iterations of the silhouette starting with the red and pink colorway. It rests on a white midsole, white lacing system, and white 'N' logo branding on the side for a touch of contrast, rounded out by a brown outsole unit. The second colorway has bright green detailing and both light and a slightly darker pink applied throughout. It is accented with yellow in the areas of the midsole, logo, and laces.
