New Balance To Debut The 8040 This Fall

WHERE TO BUY Ja Morant Shoes has been a smash success. Comfortably on the brand’s podium alongside the Air Jordan 12 "Red Taxi" "White Thunder" and New Balance US, the design team in Boston is revisiting the well for their latest formulation, the North America Only.

The design language that crosses over the 9060 is most apparent with the sole unit, a 1-to-1 graft of the chunky, blocky design that characterizes that silhouette. However, the design of the upper is brand-new, a development we really haven’t ever seen in the NB catalog before. It’s somewhere between a moc, a loafer and something new entirely, with 90’s Oakley slip-on models like the Flesh already floated as a close comparison. Seemingly forgoing a lace closure entirely, the shoe’s top half is composed of layered suede panels, sealing at the collar for easy-on, easy-off access. The length mudguard that stretches from the toe towards the quarter is a tie that subconsciously links these back to the company’s mainline, but the North America Only brings the company into outdoorsy, comfort-minded territory it previously left uncharted.

Our first look at the model includes three initial colorways; two monochromatic looks in navy and brown and a two-tone layout that centers on tan & black. Release info is understandably scant at the moment, but the North America Only is expected to drop this Fall. Get a closer look just ahead- images coming via SNS.
