The New Balance 999 Elite has more up its sleeve than those nautical, “Kennedy” leaning looks. Shown here is the next pair to come hit retailers, one that first popped up way back in August of 2012 before anyone had any idea about the wider reaching “Elite Edition” releases. The base is a blue suede affair that features hits of grey, black, and orange to diversify things. Continue reading for the shots on this Elite New Balance 999, tell us how you like it in comparison to the other Elite pairs we’ve seen from NB lately, and pick up yours today from Oneness.

New Balance’s Elite Collection made a strong first impression with a trio of premium suede 1500s. Now the New Balance 999s Sneaker News spotted early on eBay have started to make their way toward retail, so let’s take another look at what could be the strongest of the set so far. This series of grey suede and mesh tones adds a bit of red for a sporty look that’s still fairly low-key, but serious fans will be able to spot these from a distance thanks to the rarely used ticked laces. Take a closer look below, let us know how this one compares to its blue brother and stick with Sneaker News for updates.

The New Balance 999 is one of a couple models apparently set to switch into elite mode in the near future (the New Balance 1500 already having done so). The technical details as far as which materials are upgraded in the process are still a bit of a mystery, but these get by on aesthetic terms regardless. The materials match up pretty close with another recent New Balance 999, both of them sporting a vaguely ‘Kennedy’ lean to them. Hit the jump with us to see all the angles on this Spring 2013 release and pick them up a little bit early from rediggie on eBay.

There’s no doubt that the ‘Kennedy’ pair of the New Balance 999 that came from the CNCPTS camp a few years back gave quite a bit more steam to this New Balance silhouette. In fact, this inline colorway echoes their design in many ways with its mesh toebox, stony grey suede cap up front, and ripstop nylon sections. The pair first popped up at Agenda tradeshow back in August and has yet to surface at any US retailers, but you can be sure that Sneaker News will have the first word when it does. And, if you don’t wanna wait, you can actually purchase this New Balance 999 right now from abckicks on eBay.
