The New Balance 999 unveils the perfect combination of rich color and heritage design. The legendary running silhouette is rendered in a mostly royal blue suede upper throughout. Contrasting black details on the laces, top eyelet, "N" branding, and mesh-flanked heel provide finishing touches to the design. Perforations along the toe box add a breathability aspect, and all of this rests upon a tri-colored midsole and rubber ABZORB outsole in black.
