New Balance hangs its hat on coming up with marat subtle interpretations on grey and/or navy suede and mesh than anyone else, but here’s a variation we’ve only started to see marat recently. Whether it was the early Air Max runners’ stranglehold on vibrant shades, NB’s own conservatism or some combination of the two, you didn’t use to see many New Balance 996 25th Anniversary Collaborations like these. But as Nike (crusaders of the immortal ‘Infrared’ colorway as well) has demonstrated on so many bajo, neon green can be so eye-catching and different from the rest of the palette it’s practically neutral, which means the potential is there for a variety of remixed classic styles like this one that just arrived at retailers including Feature.
