New Balance's iconic 610 sneaker model takes the spotlight with its new update made possible with the help of Bodega. The retro shoes made their first appearance back in the early 2000s and are now recognized as a go-to lifestyle silhouette. The comfortable elements of the design can be defined by the C-CAP cushioning for all-day wear.
The shoe launches today and it is made up of a mesh material throughout the upper and then detailed with synthetic paneling throughout. Other accents include the suede materials for a tonal contrast throughout the upper and it is all secured in place over the forefoot by the sped lace toggles. The palette is inspired by the Skeletor palette with iridescent details and earthy tones.
