“Olive” And GORE-TEX Bring The New Balance 998 Grey Navy Into Fall

New balance нежно розовые кроссовки New Balance 998 Grey Navy has receded as a true “hype” model. Its catalog peer in New Balance M2002RDE has instead taken that mantle, but obviously nothing about the actual shoe has changed. That is to say, for everyday wear and all-around comfort, the silhouette remains one of the best lifestyle propositions. Changing seasons means that its typical mesh runner build will become a nonstarter in short order, and right on cue, Boston designers have a response at the ready.

Already tipped off with an all-black colorway, the 2002R trades its traditional suede & mesh composition for nubuck and GORE-TEX, either clearly intended to make these a year-round proposition. In accordance with that, the palette gets fully naturalistic, draped in earthy notes of army green, black and off-white in select notes on the sole. On top of the seasonal overhaul, the palette makes for the biggest piece of intrigue, utilizing a novel color-blocking scheme that almost brings a shadowed look to the panels of the 2002R.

Naturally, the New Balance 998 Grey Navy is queued up for release as a part of New Balance’s FW24 slate. Expect a premium $180 price tag given the new materials at play.
