The New Balance Rainier may be a relic of the past, but the hiking boot has garnered newfound attention amongst fashion enthusiasts thanks to a recent co-sign by Teddy Santis.
While a full-on retro cycle has yet to commence, the rugged proposition has returned in classic “Glazed Ginger” overseas. Textile base layers visible at the toe and mid-foot deviate from their brown leather surroundings in a navy tone that harkens back to hiking boots from the past. Black metal hardware along the tongue and Vibram sole units further contrast the traditional-looking brown that takes over most of the Mt. Rainier-inspired design. New Balance branding is stamped onto the profiles and top of the tongue, keeping things simple, but heritage-driven.
