New Balance introduces a pair of 860v2 sneakers for the season following the silhouette's previous drop that took place in 2023. The 860v2 gets a large inline drop this season as it is launching in a plethora of colorway options. The shoe made its original appearance in 2011 as a performance running shoe.
The latest update is back and this time, it takes on a lifestyle approach with slight changes to its appearance. The upper is made with a mesh base foundation for integrated breathability. The shape is slim for a sleek look and the colorways include familiar palettes that were seen last year during its ALD collaboration. The new shoes are set to drop on April 24th at Korean streetwear imprint WORKSOUT before it launches globally.
