991 "Year Of The Ox" sneakers
The New Balance 991 "Year of the Ox" is a special look for the retro-inspired lifestyle sneaker that honors the traditional Chinese holiday. Here, a rustic plush brown suede material is layered over the brown mesh base on the mid-panel and eyelets. Tonal leather overlays appear on the forefoot and heel. A brown 'N' logo with yellow accenting can be found on either side of the shoe and brown embroidered '991' detailing is stitched onto the branding window on the heel. New Balance's renowned ABZORB cushioning is embedded within the gray midsole for impact absorption. True to New Balance's less-is-more branding ethos, the only references to Chinese New Year appears on the red nylon overlay on the underside of the tongue.
