Craftsmanship-Celebrating Sneaker

Packer and New Balance Join on the New M992PK1 Sneaker Model

— September 10, 2020 — Fashion
Packer works in collaboration with New Balance on a pair of the 992 sneaker model with the unveiling of the 'M992PK1.' The sneaker is designed with inspiration drawn from the process of the product's overall production and careful craftsmanship of the Made in USA line. The M992PK1 model celebrates the artisanal and domestic work that it takes to create the footwear behind the construction itself.

This is paired together with a lookbook that stars Michael C. Thorpe, a Queens-based artist born in Boston. The sneaker itself boasts rich wheat and tan hues throughout the upper and features supple pig suede materials overlaying. There are also pebbled leather accents above the toe box and the mid eyestay before there are so silver reflective material by the logo.
