Although Blundstone has become known for its high quality and well-crafted Chelsea boots, its latest release rivals some of their best sellers, taking a nod from the past, the Tasmanian/Australian-based brand took a look at one of its earliest boot designs and has rereleased a new version of their classic lace-ups. This drop takes one of their earlier designs and turns it into a classic yet modern iteration meant to stay in your closet for ages. Their newest boot, also known as the #2428, takes nods of some of their recent successful designs and puts it into a trendy lace-up shoe.

Introducing the #2428 Lace-Up boot

Available in three classic colors, the #2428 features many timeless qualities that can easily blend in with your style. Choose from a rustic black, brown, and clay for a vintage look that still seems contemporary and elevated. The #2428 features a shock absorption that can absorb up to 90 percent of the impact when you walk. Made with water-resistant leather, these lace-up boots can withstand most outdoor activities in gloomy weather. Crafted with double-stitching, 2.5mm leather, and a tough outsole, the boot is made to last and can undoubtedly be part of your closet for years to come. Despite its rigidness and sturdiness, the cotton inner lining allows your foot to breathe comfortably all day.

In the past, New Balance has experimented with both colorful and minimalist designs. While a few of their last sneakers have introduced pops of colors throughout, none have had quite the colorful palette as their newest release. Perfectly apt for the future summer season, the most recent New Balance release is not just full of color but a bold kaleidoscope of color. Infusing neon hues throughout the sneaker, this shoe is possibly one of the brand’s brightest. Although the unique colorway captures the eye, the performance features continue to deliver. Fully enriched in 2000s design, this lifestyle sneaker is a flashy, maximalist shoe ready to take over. Whether you need a comfy and statement shoe to run errands or go on walks, this sneaker does all that and more.

Aptly named “Neon Nights”, the newest New Balance sneaker is a bold color palette waiting to be worn. Crafted with a ‘Concord Grape’ mesh base, the sneaker takes shape with ‘Purple Fuchsia’ forefoot overlays accenting the vibrant tone. To add even more pop of color, the shoe has “Sun Glow’ yellow accents on the tongue tag, New Balance logos, and the front outsole. Blue and silver tones take over the quarter and heel, while an orange midsole brightens the design even more. Features like the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole ensure that users look great and feel comfortable and stable. Available via the New Balance web store, the ‘Neon Nights’ sneaker retails for $109. Although the maximalist and vibrancy of the sneaker isn’t for everyone, this bold design is ready to be worn and seen in any scenario.
