Monochromatic Tennis-Inspired Kicks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The New Balance V25 Classic Court is Subtly Stylish

— October 21, 2011 — Fashion
For a more simple, subtle style, the New Balance V25 Classic Court would be the pair of sneakers.

The new New Balance V25 Classic Court is part of the company's AW 2011 Collection. The season brings a series of sneakers inspired by models developed by tennis brands back in the 60s and 70s. These are a low-top style with a monochromatic look contrasted by the white vulcanized soles. The only difference between all the models in the collection is the material used for the upper. New Balance has mainly relied on leather and canvas to construct the new shoes. The overall design is basic, but I actually prefer it to their usual, multi-colored layouts.

The New Balance V25 Classic Court will be available in different colors.
