Breast Cancer Awareness kicks are always easy to get behind, the pinked out pairs not only looking good on feet but also raising money for a great cause. The newest pair to pop up in that category if this made in USA New Balance 993 WMNS, getting some healthy pink sections around the design along with the instantly recognizable ribbon tied in with that cause. Stay with us after the jump for full photos and pick up the Lace Up For the Cure x New Balance 993 WMNS (and remember that %5 of the proceeds go to the Susan G.

Never before have New Balance’s retro running releases been so varied, and we’re moving into a year when more of their beloved classics will be available in more different ways than ever before. Following up on the success of the Custom 574, we just shared with you word of the New Balance 993 available for online customization. As you might expect, there are quite a few different colors of suede and mesh available, but if you decide to leave the design to the professionals, you’re not going to do much better than the pair pictured above. These new NB993s freshen up the classic tonal grey approach with a few expertly placed copper accents (hence the ‘C’ in GRC) that set these apart from both the iconic NB look and the recent array of grey/orange kicks that tend to use the latter’s blaze shade. Check these out up close after the jump and let us know if they’re worth importing. via ST

When New Balance first went live with the customizable options on the US574 last year, it made sense that that ubiquitous retro model was the one to kick things off. If you’ve had your fill of 574′s though, New Balance just launched a similar process for the New Balance 993, a model that doesn’t see too much play around these parts but is a classic nonetheless. Coming from the canon of longer, small-N silhouettes, this suede and mesh combo can be tricked out to your heart’s content with a pretty good variety of tones and colors, with the subsequent manufacturing going down right here in the US. Continue reading for a couple samples and head over to the New Balance website to make a pair for yourself.

You might see this model and wonder, “Didn’t we already see a green superhero take part in a New Balance collaborative release?” The answer is, of course, yes, but don’t mistake this Green Lantern x New Balance 993 for the PHANTACi joints created in commemoration for Jay Chou’s turn as Cato in Michel Gondry’s The Green Hornet. Rather, this model celebrates Ryan Reynolds’ upcoming summer blockbuster, its all black suede and mesh construction apparently originally intended as a friends & family exclusive for cast and crew. However, if you like the concept and execution seen more extensively after the jump, it seems like some pairs have leaked out to Japanese retailer Icefield and a few are floating around on eBay.
