“Silver Metallic” Drapes The New Balance 860v2

The 860v2 may not get as much shine as the New Balance 9060 or New Balance 1906R, but it’s largely because the silo’s biggest moments almost exclusively coming with a helping hand from Aimé Leon Dore. With the Boston Brand always experimenting, perhaps now it’s time for the New Balance 860v2 to step to the front of the line. When it’s rocking colorways like the “Silver Metallic” one at hand, it has a strong argument for why it’d deserve that treatment.

Metallic shades appearing here in heavy doses is par for the course for any tech runner, but the two-tone look that this colorway capitalizes on simplifies the palette greatly. Pinning matte grey underfoot is a particularly successful choice, creating stark contrast with the dominant off-white tonality up top. Simply put, it’s one of the more visually arresting New Balance 860v2 GRs we’ve seen in some time, premium details like the textured overlays, curvilinear heel cage and translucent quarter panel exemplifying why this model deserves a spot in your rotation.

The New Balance 860v2 “Silver Metallic” is available now via retailers, carrying a $140 retail price. Hit the links under “Where To Buy” to get your hands on a pair, or check out the official images embedded below for a closer look before you do.
