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.

New Balance ‘Moon Daze’ Pack – Landing Soon

Celebrating the Boston based brand’s annual Grey Day…

New Balance has established a legacy founded on consistent innovation and technological progress in the footwear industry; And, although the brand is often linked with cutting-edge designs in vibrant hues, it’s simply impossible to think of New Balance without picturing a classic pair of Grey trainers… But how has this come to be?

What is New Balance Grey Day

During the late 1970s, runners grew increasingly frustrated as their white trainers were being ruined by the harsh city conditions, with the main culprit being the asphalt. The consistent kicking up of dust, along with the knocking and scraping of runners’ feet, resulted in even the most durable of trainers being tinted a light grey shade by the urban environment. Keen to find a solution for the issue, New Balance opted to release an array of running trainers with lightweight grey suede uppers, perfectly matching the shades of the city’s asphalt and seamlessly integrating into consumers’ lifestyles.

–

The trainers were an instant hit, and after several decades, the colour has become a fundamental aspect of the brand’s identity, playing a crucial role in New Balance’s legacy. So much so that the brand host’s an annual ‘Grey Day’ as an homage to their adopted signature colour. As part of this years celebrations, New Balance are releasing a bespoke collection of trainers dubbed the ‘Moon Daze’ Pack. Drawing inspiration from extra terrestrial experiences, the collection is a product of the thought “what would shoes look like after walking on another planet?” And the result is out of this world…
