Just in time for the New Year, New Balance launched a fresh iteration of its 247 Luxe model, which boasts a simplistic, brown, black and forest green colorway that's inspired by an alligator. To reflect this influence, the brand dubbed the colorway 'Reptile.'
The sneakers are constructed from nubuck leather, suede, and a mesh blend, making for a lightweight and breathable build that's able to last for years. New Balance's branding is marked on the center of sides on the uppers, with a large "N" embroidered on top of the scale-like black material.
Consumers can find the new 247 Luxe model at retailers like Feature, as well as New Balance's online store and it's many other retailers.
