New Balance introduces its latest 57/40 sneakers that are set to join its roster for the Winter season. Prepared for the colder conditions, the shoes are made with resistant GORE-TEX across the uppers and come in two neutral colorway options.
It is designed in either a brown or a black colorway made from tonal canvas underlays that rest under the soft suede panels. This can be seen along the lacing system, heel counters, and mudguards. The large N logo on the side gets a rugged coat, as well as the heel overlays, are detailed with GORE-TEX embossed branding accents. Rubber protectors are designed in grey at the back and classic branding rests right above it.
