References: highsnobiety
New Balance and DTLR work in collaboration on a festive iteration of the classic 990v4 sneaker model. It is set to launch officially on November 27th and features a bright look reminiscent of the Grinch, a classic icon of the holiday season.
The shoes are predominantly detailed in a neon green tone and are contrasted by red accents to stay aligned with the theme. These can be seen on the laces over the forefoot and the toe box section. Other contrasting accents arrive in the form of metallic silver which can be seen on the side of the shoe and the N logo on the lateral section to round it all out for the season.
