New Balance's new X-Racer sneakers are the latest footwear model to join the brand's ongoing X-Series. The footwear is a laid-back iteration of the original, which also feature some elements of a 90s performance model. This is seen mainly through the overall structure of the model, as well as the midsole and the overlay detail throughout the uppers.
Asphaltgold, the German retailer, announced that the new X-Racer sneakers are set to drop later this summer during July. There are four colorways prepared to launch soon and the construction highlights breathable mesh material at the uppers. There are also paneling accents of suede overlays at the side and the toe box area. The signature branding accent is found on the side at the 'N' and the heel counter made from plastic.
