Stone Island and New Balance Reunite for Another 'RC ELITE' Colorway
References: newbalance & hypebeast
New Balance has announced a new colorway of the ‘RC ELITE SI’ and plans for a long-term partnership with streetwear staple Stone Island. The torn silhouette from last year's ‘RC ELITE’ colorway is carried over, but this rendition opts for a distinctive color palette, drawing on bold tones that contrast shades of green and burgundy-brown.
The knit component of the upper is neon green, while the ripped overlay is dark brown. To complete the detailing, FuelCell technology returns to the white midsole, which sits above a regular black outsole. The breathable 3D knit material on the upper returns, as does the famous Stone Island compass rose on the left shoe. A New Balance design is printed on the right sneaker.
