Tonal Pig Suede Shoes

New Balance Introduces the 990v4 Sneakers in Two New Colors

— July 18, 2018 — Fashion
Footwear label New Balance drops two new tonal makeovers of its iconic 990v4 sneakers for the Summer 2018 season. The new colors are the 'Moroccan blue' and the 'mineral sage' -- both of which boast hues of blue-green. The mineral sage version completely covers the sneakers' uppers with the tonal blue whereas the Moroccan Blue iteration is decorated with some black accents.

The sneakers are constructed from high-quality pig suede materials blended with mesh fabrics. It sits on top of an ENCAP rubber sole unit with branding details of the signature 'N' logo found on the side panels. Additional branding accents are found on the tongue that read "Made in the USA" and "990v4." The two new versions of the timeless piece will drop in time for the ending of summer for the price of $175 USD for the Mineral Sage sneaker and $185 USD for the Moroccan Blue sneaker.
