Following its revival back in November, the New Balance 801 silhouette is making a return in an earth tone scheme that honors the trails for which it was made. All-terrain in its design, the ever-accessible pair excites in its subversion of the norm, opting for a performance runner instead of the usual lifestyle classics. Opposite of sleek in every facet, an aggressive sole unit arrives with deep grooves lining the sides of its construction, going against the grain of the usually understated Adzorb tech. Mudguards surround the lower half of the upper in an assortment of blacks and browns while a toe cap furthers the layers created by an intricate set of panelling. Mesh fabrications dress down in the muddy hue while a bright yellow adorns the laces as well as various branding hits for a stark yet synergistic form of contrast. If you’re looking to get your hands on a pair, they’re currently available for a price point of $100 USD at retailers like BLENDS as well as the ones listed below.
