When the New Balance 999 Elite first popped up, the community was quick to react with comparisons to the instant classic “Kennedy” New Balance 999. Following those first couple of colorways, the shoe has managed to blaze its own path separate from the nautically inspired shoe. This new black and red combo for instance doesn’t have too much in common with the aforementioned collab, opting for a more typical set of laces along with some tones far away from that red, white, and blue. Make sure you see the rest of the shots waiting below and join us in the wait for the black/red New Balance 999 Elite’s US arrival.

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.

Arriving as the antithesis of sorts to the fancier Elite Editions is a New Balance 999 dressed up in about as straightforward a color palette as you can get. The sneaker is a pure grey and white affair, the former being a sort of silvery grey that lines up closely with the reflective sections across the upper. Make sure you click through to get the full look at this New Balance 999 silhouette and tell us in the comments if it’s one that you see yourself picking up in the near future.

The New Balance Elite collection continues with a new colorway resembling a standout collaboration that itself occupies a rarefied stratosphere. The New Balance 999 Elite pictured above is the blue answer to the red joints that dropped a bit earlier, a makeup whose blocking and accent shade has them looking something like a black-saddled Kennedy continuation (mild SEAL connections as well). There’s a bit of poetry in the design itself as depicted further below, and furthering the beautiful symmetry at work in this design is the fact that they’re available at the place most responsible for this silo’s recent success: CNCPTS.

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.
