New Balance Korea continues to grow its outdoor-centric CRV line with the launch of the new CRV Mule v2. It is designed in a slip-on form and complete with straps along the forefoot and heel. The CRV Mule v2 also has a thicker look than the first version of the shoe and features a construction that fuses material including ripstop and synthetic leather.
At the bottom section of the shoe, there is an anti-slip rubber sole unit for traction. The brand also replaces the back trap and adds the pull tab on the heel. The iconic N logo is made in the form of woven straps to keep the foot secure in place with more branding throughout.
