Sneakerheads know all about how important colors can be, everything from the signature shades that give popular releases their nicknames to the standouts among those that set wider trends. It’s those large-scale cultural movements that the visual buffet that is Pantonism offers immediately upon your first visit, its arrangement of fashion into intuitive color skews that give insight into the overlap between labels each season. In the case of Ronnie Fieg this spring, a special mixture of grey and blue come together to define his appropriated ‘Steel Blue’ colorway on the New Balance 999 and some of the visuals that inspire their elegance. Click through to see some new shots of the shoe itself and let us know how which color skew best defines your current look.

Just last week, we gave you the scoop with the first look at Ronnie Fieg’s upcoming collaborative New Balance SMU-the New Balance 999 ‘Steel Blue’. Following up on that initial preview we’ve got a much clearer view of this take down of the famed New Balance 1300 of the same name, a sneaker Fieg has pegged as one of his most beloved models in that cannon of impeccably clean retro runners. Click through for a better look at the ‘Steel Blue’ colorway as ported onto the more angular, smaller N model of the New Balance 999, which will arrive serendipitously on Friday, June 15th, coinciding with the 30th birthday of Mister Fieg himself.

Right after the release weekend of Ronnie Fieg’s latest collaboration with one celebrated running imprint and we get our first substantial look at his next. Previewed here is the New Balance 999 that Fieg has been cooking up, apparently a take-off on the beloved ‘Steel Blue’ colorway of the New Balance 1300 that his Kith space recently re-launched in 2012. The sneaker does play with the traditional Steel Blue makeup a little bit, switching out the mesh sectioning towards the toe box and ankle areas in favor of a perforated suede treatment.
