This J.Crew New Balance Trail Buster Comes in Perfect Fall Colors
Charlotte Joyce Kidd — August 20, 2015 — Fashion
The New Balance Trail Buster is getting a preppy makeover by clothing brand J.Crew. The shoe's name suggests that it's meant to be worn outdoors -- its design is purposely sturdy and protective enough that it could, in fact, be worn hiking. This clean-cut remake of the classic shoe is best paired with khakis and a blazer on a weekend social excursion. J.Crew came up with two new color schemes for the New Balance Trail Buster including a vibrant 'Grey Indigo Fire' version and the more subdued 'Foliage' style.
Sneaker collaborations are more popular than ever. While celebrity remakes often steal the spotlight, these J.Crew-New Balance Trail Busters prove that a classic collaboration is a great way for a clothing brand to ensure its customers have the perfect pair of sneakers to wear with their new fall outfit.
