New Balance – This Weeks Arrivals

Featuring the 991 and 576 silhouettes…

New Balance arrivals always get us excited. Waiting to see the next colourway of a classic silhouette, that we’re inevitably going to have to secure some spare cash for is a regular occurrence here at Aphrodite. But it’s worth it. Why? Because they’ll become a staple in our wardrobes and they’ll last forever. And in a cost of living crisis that’s pretty ideal isn’t it? We think so. Anyway here are the three New Balance trainers that came in with this weeks deliveries.

New Balance 991 & 576

Okay so the first trainer is actually two. This dynamic duo arrived looking curiously coordinated in their dark grey tones. Obviously created to be sold side by side, these beauties use a nylon base and leather overlays to deliver a more technical look. We’re gonna call these the ‘Magnet Pack’, not because that’s their official colourway name, but because they’re so attractive, *wink wink*.

New Balance 991

Next up this week is another 991 trainer. New Balance have opted to make this Made in England classic contemporary to its core. With a pure leather construction for a premium feel and a monochromatic colourway, this pair is looking clean in cream. Of course you get all of your typical EVA foam and Abzorb technology underfoot aswell, meaning these 991s make you feel like you’re walking on a dream. I’m sure there’s some singer that we’ll need to quote for that.

While you look forward to more fresh kicks next week, take a look around our New Balance category, or our latest footwear arrivals to scout out the next pair to add to your collection.
