Blue Arctic Sneakers

The New Balance ML999 'Wooly Mammoth' Pack is Inspired by Arctic Elements

The New Balance ML999 'Wooly Mammoth' Pack has grown with the addition of two brand new colorways. Following the blue/gray rendition sneaker fans were exposed to earlier this year, the collection is back with a few more hues inspired by the Arctic cold.

Like the previous New Balance sneakers released in this collection, these sneakers are inspired by Arctic elements which give them their blue to gray hues. Featured on the New Balance ML999 silhouette, these sneakers are made with materials such as leather trims, pig suede and other high-quality materials often used in the construction of New Balance sneakers.

In addition to the chilling colorways, these sneakers are made for enhanced warmth and are set atop New Balance’s signature ABZORB soles.
