SNS Presents New Balance ML860
If we take a magnifying glass and observe the current state of fashion-forward inner-cities, vintage running shoes reign supreme, fronted by New Balance with their retro-looks, matching perfectly the status quo of dressed up urbanians. With icons like the 99x series, the Boston-based sportswear brand has re-established itself as one of, if not, the top player when it comes to all-around kicks. From Ohio to London, or Copenhagen, or New York, the “N” is back, and so is the futuristic-looking New Balance 860 V2, which debuted in the 1990s. The lightweight sneaker initially took over the running tracks but made its transition to the urban landscape with no effort. Equipped with N-ergy cushioning and Acteva lite technology, the reimagined 860 V2s are constructed with a mesh base and featuring metallic overlays, while one pair stays located on the bright side, the other one is tapping into a blacked-out theme. Fusing performance and lifestyle, the New Balance ML860 feels timeless and like a newfound gem with its instantly recognizable sporty but elegant look.
The New Balance ML860 is available at Sneakersnstuff from Nov. 8th
