New Balance continues to grab attention and this time around, the brand shifts its focus to the notable 992 shoe model for the season, detailing it in neon hits throughout the silhouette. The latest tonal update sees neon green and blue throughout most of the upper, resting on top of a clean white base foundation to allow for a stark contrast.
The mesh material gives it some breathability and can be seen on the toe box and the collar overlay details. There is also a bright orange that makes up the branding detail seen on the side of the shoe reading the iconic "N." Branding details continue at the tongue and the heel section to round it all out.
