Matt Varga We may go to bat for the overall quality of New Balance’s Made in USA series, including the heralded 99x series, but when push comes to shove, we understand that some consumers may balk at the relatively high prices associated with those shoes. Perhaps that barrie is why the Boston brand has made the New Balance 2010 one of the more high-volume products, dropping dozens upon dozens of variations in the time since its debut.
While we don’t mean to alarm in saying this, we’re in the last drips and drabs of summertime in earnest, meaning it’s time to start building out a fall rotation. The colorway of the New Balance 2010 makes a strong case for inclusion in yours; not only brandishing an autumnal brown and black, but also making material changes for the cooler air ahead. Indeed, in place of the breathable mesh that so many of NB shoes build off of, here the lifestyle shoe reaches for a sturdier canvas, allowing the tech runner aesthetic to live on in your end-of-year fits but not needing to make any climate sacrifices in the process.
Look for this New Balance 2010 hitting NewBalance.com and partnering retailers in the coming months. Given the new build, it’s unclear whether we’ll see the standard $145 retail price or one that’s a tick higher.
