Horween Leather x New Balance M996BHR

New Balance and Chicago-based leather tannery Horween Leather Company have teamed up again for another collaborative release. The Horween Leather x New Balance M996BHR embodies the traditions upheld by both brands by borrowing the M996BHR silhouette and wrapping it in Horween’s signature waxy and supple leather materials. The model features a deep burgundy leather upper with tanned brown accents throughout, such as the outline of the “N” logo on the side and the New Balance tongue tab. It also has an Encap sole unit, whilst “USA” is embossed on the heel tab as a nod to the shoe’s fine American craftsmanship. One should note that the fine leather is meant to naturally change in subtle color variation and patina over time and wear. The Horween Leather x New Balance M996BHR will be released March 2 at New Balance stockists as well as Up There’s online store for $400 USD.
