New Balance is no stranger to themed packs. Having perfected the art of creating mini collections geared around a specific color or theme, the brand is once again releasing a pair of new designs just in time for the summer. As part of the brand’s Made in UK series, this new collection brings the pastel colors you need to complete your wardrobe. Filled with many of the New Balance details you know and love, the newest summer pack is all about merging the brand’s traditional stamp with lighter and more colorful hues. With two new fresh takes on one of New Balance’s most classic styles, this summer pack has everything you need for your summer adventures. 

The “Grounded Pastels” Made in UK 991v2 Pack has arrived

Drawing its design from the 991v2 sneaker, the latest pack from New Balance introduces pastel hues to the summer. As part of the Made in UK series, these new designs have been designed across the pond and include all of the premium details you would expect. Available in either “Mineral Green” or “Celestial Blue,” these sneakers include tonal suede overlays accented by the traditional grey-tone overlays.‘N’ motifs on the midfoot, tongue tags, and heel bring more of the classic elements to the design. Semi-transparent ABZORB pods sit on a white midsole with the traditional grey and black rubber tread bringing it all together. Both sneakers are available now via New Balance’s webstore for $250 each. While everything about the design and silhouette is typical of New Balance sneakers, the seasonal tones bring a freshness to the sneaker that’s hard to miss.

While New Balance has certified itself as a go-to lifestyle sneaker, that hasn’t prevented the brand from continuing to expand its casual sneaker lineup. In its newest summer release, the brand is turning to its 2010 silhouette for a brand new colorway that brings neutral tones with a pop of color. New to the New Balance lineup, the 2010 model is one of the brand’s most recent additions, first making its appearance in May of this year.

As more brands adopt their retro performance shoes into modern-day lifestyle sneakers, more colorways and patterns have come into the spotlight, making it easier to find one that fits with your style. Expected to hit stores later this month, the latest New Balance 2010 sneaker is a clean and subtle sneaker with plenty of timeless quality to it.

While its design might not seem drastically different from other New Balance sneakers, the 992 silhouette has earned its status as one of the most popular in the brand’s lineup. First released in 2006 to commemorate the brand’s 100th anniversary, the 992 gained notoriety as the go-to sneaker for the late Steve Jobs. As part of his uniform, the 992 became a go-to practical shoe for many. While Steve Jobs was keen on the sneaker’s grey shade, the newest release of the sneaker sets out to give this silhouette a moodier feel. Not straying too far from its traditional look, the latest 992 will feature a darker colorway, making it a perfect option for those seeking a comfortable shoe later in the year.
