The all-new New Balance MNL710 sport sneakers take inspiration from the heat of the sandy Moroccan desert resulting in a shoe design featuring neutral tones. These sneakers are simple, clean and classic making them ideal to pair with athletic looks as well as casual wear.
Unlike many sneakers that opt for flashy and contrasting color schemes to be more attention-grabbing, these shoes are much more minimalist with subtle coloring. The shoe features shades inspired by sand with dark, light and beige browns coupled with a vegetable leather. The soles feature a Vibram minimus design topped with pops of bright blue that contrast the neutral upper. The sneakers are slim in design making them a practical pair to have in your closet.
