The brand known for its reliability for fitness is bringing that same standard and taking it up a notch with its latest collaboration.

Besides the technical upgrades on the shoe, this collaborative sneaker has a sleek and minimalist look that will surely make for an easy fit in your wardrobe. Donning earthy browns, this new drop is as luxurious on the outside as on the inside. With plenty of collaborations reaching for bold hues and out-of-the-box details, the sleek touches on this shoe make this design bold in its own right.

While the collaboration seems typical of an ASICS sneaker on the outside, the inside holds all of the craftsmanship that nonnative is famous for. Crafted with technical welding and no-sew elements, all shoe parts are made with quality standards. The inside contains a GORE-TEX membrane, to help keep your feet warm and dry, even in cold conditions. This design also combines FLYTEFORM cushioning and GEL technology for a lightweight feel that can last all day and in any scenario. The all-brown upper with suede overlays complete the look on the outside, giving it a more sophisticated look for a trail sneaker.

While New Balance’s many collaborations have become a point of fame for the company, it doesn’t mean the athletic brand’s in-house designs lack style and quality. As part of New Balance’s effort to tap into their global reach, the brand has begun to release unique designs that pay homage to the sneaker’s construction origin. With collections like MADE in USA, MADE in UK, and MADE in Japan as examples, these designs perfectly capture their origins and honor the work of the crafters responsible. New Balance has released a new design celebrating a heritage and sleek look as part of their Made in UK series. Using moodier tones and clean lines, the latest MADE in UK sneaker is a sophisticated trainer that elevates its silhouette. 
Introducing New Balance 991v2 MADE in UK 

Using New Balance’s 2001-era 991v2 silhouette, the brand has reimagined the sneaker with elevated concepts and a rich colorway. Still doning its ABZORB cushioning, the design retains the sneaker’s comfort and support features. In this new iteration, the uppers are crafted from a blend of dark blue nubuck and leather with light blue mesh, creating a texturized and unique base. Cream accents are found throughout the uppers and midsole, creating a strong contrast. With new side panels and a heel logo repositioned off to the side, the small changes significantly impact its overall look. Hailing from the UK, the new MADE in UK sneaker appears timeless and showcases a vintage design. Those looking to elevate their wardrobe with the “Vintage Navy” sneaker can find it on the New Balance web store and select retailers for $268.
