New Balance continues to introduced new colorways for its vintage-inspired hightop basketball shoes. The highly sought-after New Balance 650 sneakers draw inspiration from 1980s retro designs.

The shoe comes constructed with a supple leather upper and features the distinctive New Balance puff and stitch collar and an eye-catching leather eyerow. The vintage-inspired high-top is presented with a striking almost all-black foundation and sees the collar and tongue in mesh. The tongue is branded with the “NB” tag, while the “N” logo on the side panels are highlighted in grey to match the outsole. The shoe sits atop a white midsole to round out the design.

Look out for the New Balance 650 at select retailers and online at New Balance for $130 USD.

In case you missed it, the Nike Air Max 90 arrives in “Phantom/Neutral Olive.”
