New Balance introduces a new tonal iteration to detail its 1400 sneaker model for the season with a refreshing Steel Blue palette. The shoes are constructed from suede materials overlaying the silhouette around the heel section, the quarter panels, and the toe boxes.
Muted grayscale and creamy hues follow the same route as the toe boxes are made from mesh in gray. Cream palettes are applied onto the tongues and the collar sections, following to the heel's overlay and the molds as well. The rest of the shoe has small accents of baby blue to add some contrast, seen at the N logos throughout and at the laces. The midsole unit is detailed in white and has a tread sole unit of black.
