New Balance introduces the 2010 sneaker model in the new muted Grey Days colorway palette. The model is doused in hues of Aris Stone, Raincloud, and Calcium. It is set to launch on May 22nd and can be shopped online at New Balance. The model is marking the annual Grey Days celebration as the silhouette was first unveiled on the feet of Amine.
The lifestyle running shoe blends elements of archival inspiration detailed with progressive updates. This includes a diamond knit mesh material forming the upper. It is also resting on top of the sculptured ABOZORB midsole unit and SBS cushioning for comfort. To add a brighter design notion, there are reflective accents all throughout.
