When the New Balance 2010 first came to light, could anyone have predicted it becoming arguably one of the most populous products from the American brand? Perhaps shrewd industry watchers, having seen how the New Balance 1000 rode its overseas production strategy and the ease out output associated with that to dozens upon dozens of colorways, could have seen the writing on the wall.

Now, the 2010 has its own impressively deep roster behind it. Yet even having chalked off so many colorways, the brand continues to prove there’s still meat on the bone. The “Pink Heat” that dropped earlier this year demonstrated how the 99x-inspired model could take well to the glossy material, now ringing in round two with this black/green colorway. While that aforementioned rosy edition only used the shimmer fabric on its mudguard, here all of the overlays are coated in shining black, developing a tri-tone split through the rest of its real estate with off-white mesh and green trim throughout.

The New Balance 2010 in this black/green patent leather variant should be coming to New Balance channels and partnering retailers in short order. European retailers have a September 18th date attached.
