Montreal-based skate imprint JJJJound delivers a new gray colorway palette that is seen detailing the New Balance 991 sneaker model. It is set to officially drop online at JJJJound beginning February 9th and boasts versatile design elements from top to bottom.
It features grey tones throughout the shoe and is secured by Sail tonal laces over the forefoot. Additional details include the black N logo that details the lateral side of the shoe to add a pop of tonal contrast. This continues at the tongue with more branding and nods to JJJJound can be seen accenting the insoles and the heel windows. Mesh is added to the base of the shoe under the overlays to ensure breathability.
