New Balance‘s retro runners have taken on the theme of exploration before, whether it was trekking through wooded road less traveled or exploring the urban landscape with a unique sensibilities geared toward outstanding tonal qualities. Now the Massachussets based running brand is back to give us the “Explore By Sea” Collection, a group of three notable retro models, each sporting lifestyle quality premium details ranging from buttery leathers, soft suede, and rich nubuck. The New Balance 998 utilizes a khaki green and grey finish while a deep tan leather hits the branding, tongue, and heel for a look that’s sure to please fans of NB’s patented attention to quality. The New Balance 997 takes a simpler approach, dressing the numerous panels in a matching sandy suede to contrast black leather accents throughout. Then there’s the New Balance 1300, notable for a soft grey suede throughout while that beautiful tan leather returns to liven up the branding. Are you a fan of the look? Be sure to check out New Balance’s latest trio of retro running offerings below and pick up your pair today from select spots like Rise.
