The iconic New Balance 878 is launched in a new colorway, thanks to a collaboration with END. The palette of the latest offering is dubbed 'Grey Gull' and the aesthetic is said to be inspired by "the birds seen mostly on Coastal Britain."
The upper of the footwear boasts a mix of blue, grey, orange, yellow and red. The vibrancy is striking and the functionality of the chic New Balance 878 is accented through the incorporation of the footwear company's signature Absorb cushioning which boasts heightened comfort and proper energy return.
The footwear will be made available to consumers on October 19th. The pair will be only sold at END., adding an aura of exclusivity to the release.
