Royal-Esque Tonal Casual Shoes

New Balance's Latest M991GWR Model Features a Minimal Color Palette

New Balance follows its recent 991 Made in UK sneaker model with the latest M991GWR silhouette complete in a royal color palette. The sneaker rests against a base that is constructed from mesh materials in a white hue for a clean foundation.

It is then overlaid with accents of pigskin suede materials for a premium touch that is signature to the footwear brand. This detail is complete in navy blue and heather gray in a color-blocking pattern. There are also red detailing along the heel and the logo accent. Notably, the side features '991' in the same red hue alongside a reflective logo with additional branding on the tongue and the interior.
