Bulky Color-Accented Sneakers

Aries and New Balance Collaborated on an Updated 990v3

Dad sneakers have been popularized both on and off the runway and Aries and New Balance partnered to capitalize on the bulky sneaker concept.

London-based label Aries recently hosted a pop-up in the city's bustling Covent Garden. This collaboration follows shortly after that strategically planned event and appeals to stylish fashionistas, or those looking for a practical look to add to their sneaker rotation. The collaborative shoe features a gray colorway that's complemented by a vibrant pop of yellow, blue and red color in the top corner of the shoe. The sneaker's heel features an all-black cap and is embroidered with '990v3' and the brand names of both collaborators.

This collaborative sneaker is available for a limited-time.
