Bright Blue Chunky Sneakers

New Balance Launches a New Colorway of the Vision Racer Sneaker

— June 23, 2020 — Fashion
New Balance introduces a new tonal iteration of the signature Vision Racer sneaker model in time for the summer season. The bold tonal option retains the sneaker's original construction, with soft textural aesthetics and the chunky silhouette.

The new sneaker boasts a construction of pigskin suede materials, blended with mesh, and full grain leather across the uppers. The overlaying makeup is made from rubber materials around the heel and the tongue before it is detailed with branding accents in black. The tongue also features a ballistic nylon strap for additional durability that runs throughout the structure. Rounding out the sneaker is a skinny piping that is marked with "((VISION))" as the suede mudguards ground the model.
