After the recent release of its two-pack automotive-inspired designs, Casablanca and New Balance are continuing their partnership with another XC-72 in a light and frothy colorway. The latest offering sets out for a more minimalistic approach following color-blocking treatments and Moroccan tile-inspired pairs such as the “Red Monogram” and “Effortless Elegance.”

The upcoming release utilizes the usual white perforated leather base sealed over with creamy chrome-free suede overlays from the mudguards to the “N” logos found on the laterals and the heel cap. A soft nylon foam tongue features a hint of golden yellow peeping out from the tongue branding label while an emerald green hue details the rest of the branding along with the heel tab. The EVA midsole goes on in white and is wrapped with a beige rubber outsole with dual-tread elements to finish off the look.

Look out for the latest Casablanca x New Balance XC-72 to release on December 11 at select retailers and via New Balance for $150 USD.

Elsewhere in footwear, NEEDLES reimagined its Asymmetric Ghillie Sneakers.
