West NYC x New Balance Donna FuelCell Prism v2 in Blu Rosa Giallo “Alpine Guide” Early Sample

Giving you a better idea of the various stages of the sneaker is this, an early version that was sampled up. The most notable difference here comes on the tooling on bottom, with this early version missing out on the tantalizing speckle that helped make the retail release such a home run. Check out both after the jump and tell us in the comments which version of the West NYC x New Balance Donna FuelCell Prism v2 in Blu Rosa Giallo “Alpine Guide” you like better.
