New Balance introduces two new colorways of its ABZORB 2010 sneaker model with the launch of Vintage Khaki and Brown for the season. Set to launch officially on May 7, the Vintage Khaki model evokes rich elements of the running heritage brand. It has a familiar build that still feels very refreshing.
The upper is made with a diamond knit mesh to offer seamless breathability. This is joined by the sectioned ABZORB sole unit at the base foundation -- this fuses hues of both green and brown throughout the upper. The colorway will be available to shop at New Balance and select retailers for the price of $160 USD. Branding is seen on the outsole, side of the shoe, and tongue unit.
