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. 

New Balance brings a clean look to the 2010 sneaker

Drawing inspiration from classic 2000s-era running shoes, the latest New Balance 2010 sneaker blurs the lines between retro design and modern features. Crafted with a natural color palette, the New Balance 2010 comes with a white linen suede upper contrasted by soft clay-toned underlays and breathable mesh for an earthy, texturized look. Subtle pops of yellow and black compose the New Balance branding for an understated color addition. The black underfoot paves the way for the ABZORB midsole, which provides maximum response and comfort. Set for release on July 23, the New Balance 2010 in “Linen/Desert Clay” sneaker will retail for $160 via the various New Balance platforms.

The Surprising Connection Between Luxury Watches and Sneakers
How Collecting Became a Market
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Back in the day, as in pre-2020 (which, let’s be honest, still feels like it was a year ago), collecting was so much simpler. You bought a watch simply because you liked the dial or the way it glittered on your wrist. You bought a pair of sneakers because you thought they made you look like your favorite athlete. Or, maybe there was satisfaction in knowing they might be worth more someday (though we’re still waiting on all those Beanie Babies to go up in price too). Then came 2020, and we all know what happened then. 

When the world shut down, people found themselves with too much time on their hands, more disposable income since there was nowhere to spend money, and a collectibles boom erupted forth like a volcano. Watches and sneakers were no longer just hobbies; they were actual markets. Rolex prices jumped up to outrageous heights, and then later fell like a lead balloon. The frenzy became so intense that, after peaking in April 2022, an index of popular Rolex models tracked by WatchCharts would later fall 21%, according to Morgan Stanley.

Adopt your Wimbledon Whites with these stellar summer pieces
Summer is the time for the all white ensemble, take your lead from the best of the best on the court
Adult, Male, Man

The Wimbledon Championships are the oldest of the four Grand Slam tournaments. They have been around since the late 1800s, and if you know anything about events that old, they are steeped in customs and traditions. While I am a huge fan of customs and traditions, I have always thought it odd when players of high-octane sports wear white. It feels like keeping sweat stains would be an utter nightmare. Having said that, Wimbledon requires all participants to wear white. It is what has come to be called the Wimbledon Whites. Now, I am also a huge fan of dressing the part, so I will confess to being guilty of planning an all-white ensemble just in case I ever land an invite to the most prestigious tennis match in the world. Now, if you are cooler than I and have already landed an invite to the tournament, then I have put together the elements of the perfect Wimbledon look.
