Footwear label New Balance introduces its latest designs to join the brand's ongoing Made in U.K. series and it is full of familiar silhouettes. The sneakers that make up the newest drop are designed with strong inspirations drawn from New Balance's own 900 and 1000 series. All of the footwear is constructed at the New Balance factory located in Flimby.
There is a strong focus on premium production when it comes to creating the sneakers. The 920 model is complete with a blend of high quality fabrication and materials throughout the entire upper. This includes mesh for breathability and lightweight elements as the base foundation before it is detailed with suede panels to contrast texturally and tonally. The iconic 'N' branding detail on the sidewall is complete in a reflective finish.
