Patta's '991' silhouette first made its debut 20 years ago, and to celebrate the classic model's anniversary, Patta and New Balance joined forces to launch a fresh iteration that honors its long-standing prominence among sneakerheads.
The refreshed 991 boasts a retro peach and pistachio-green colorway, which is accented with hints of beige, as well neutral gray and white branding. Patta's logo is included alongside the 991 branding on the heels of the sneakers in white embroidery, and New Balance's classic "N" logo is featured in its usual placement on the sides of the uppers.
The limited edition release is crafted in New Balance's UK factory, and will be available for purchase starting January 22nd in both women's and men's sizing.
