New Balance and District Vision Create the Hierro v8 Trail Shoe
References: newbalance
New Balance continues to work in collaboration with District Vision as the two present the new Hierro v8 Trail Running Shoe. The sportswear brand and Los Angeles-based running and wellness imprint create a stealthy model that is defined by its natural beauty. The silhouette is made from mesh materials at the base for a seamless sense of breathability -- this is made with a recycled compound collected from car tires and running shoe soles.
It all rests on top of a grippy and chunky sole unit that is integrated with natural Vibram. It comes in minimal colorway palettes of black and bone with an eco-friendly construction made using 'naturally occurring substances' as noted in a press release. An example includes the charcoal pigments using Carbo LIgni for the black colorway and titanium dioxide for the Bone hue.
