# Terrain-Ready Cushioned Sneakers New Balance Presents the New Dynamic 610 Sneaker Model By Amy Duong | Published 2023-01-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/610-sneaker References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/new-balance-610/) [New Balance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/610s-sneaker) recently unveils a look at its new 610 sneaker, marking the v1 iteration of the shoe and it is full of terrain-tackling features. This includes the brand's signature C-CAP cushioning that is applied to the shoe in place of the usual archetypal [ABZORB](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abzorb-2010) design. Additionally, the visual design of the shoe matches a stereotypical trail shoe from the 2000s for a slightly retro look. Visually, it seems to have a [textural finish throughout the upper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-suede-colorway) that is detailed with dynamic paneling for an in-depth look. It has a brown tonal base foundation and then grey overlays on top in suede for a textural finish. The N logo is done in an off-white tone and outlined with brown to pop out in contrast.
