Luxe Textile Muted Sneakers

Patta Decorates the New Balance 920 in Premium Materials

— September 19, 2020 — Fashion
Patta introduces a New Balance 920 sneaker model that follows its recent tracksuit launch. The updated iteration takes design cues from the New Balance 900 and the 1000 series to create an all-new sneaker silhouette for the season. The collaborative effort was worked on in Flimby, where the UK factory is located.

Most of the sneaker retails the same quality materials, which is impeccable true to the Made in UK series. The upper features use of both suede and nubuck materials complete in a muted colorway completion detailed with reflective accents to add a pop of contrast against the gray and brown foundation. The rest of the shoe features lightweight paneling informed by mesh materials.
