Tonal Suede Sneakers

New Balance Prepares for Spring by Giving the 991.5 a Makeover

Footwear label New Balance welcomes the spring weather with new tonal colorways adorning its iconic 991.5 Made in England silhouette. There are a total of three new colorways making over the label's signature footwear -- seeing options of either a classic black colorway, a captivating red colorway, or a bold purple choice.

The newest iterations of the 991.5 Made in England silhouette is constructed in the classic suede materials across most sections of the uppers. Each colorway still boasts sectional accents of grey mesh, as well as a grey and white suede detailing. To tie the piece altogether, they all rest on top of an ENCAP-cushioned midsole for maximized comfort. The sneakers are now available for purchase at the brand's stocklists including Extra Butter for the price of $200 USD.
