No need to compromise between comfort and elegance
The Breeze line has long been popular for combining the secure fit of sneakers with the delicate silhouette of Mary Janes. To suit the changing season, this fall/winter version features a warm suede upper that not only adds visual warmth but also gives the shoe more texture and dimension. The standard Ortholite insole provides soft support, addressing the usual issues with traditional flats, such as rubbing and sore feet after hours of walking. It’s an everyday shoe made for those who spend long hours on their feet without wanting to sacrifice styling details.
The new Charcoal gray shade you’ll fall for at first sight
Along with the material update, the colorways are another highlight this time. In addition to the consistently popular, easy-to-style black and retro brown, the brand is introducing a new Charcoal gray. This new shade adds a modern touch to New Balance’s signature original gray. Whether paired with casual cotton sweatpants or a polished knee-length wool skirt, this shade, which falls somewhere between formal and casual, gives off an easy sense of style.
Nicknamed a cross between a sneaker and a leather shoe, this design fills the gap between the two. The new Breeze Mary Janes are confirmed to launch on August 21. If you’re shopping for new shoes for the changing season, now’s the time to decide which color to get.
