In an effort to give the 999 silhouette a fresh twist, New Balance has opted for a monochromatic redesign by replacing the typically used mesh and suede with a leather build. To add a touch of uniqueness, the toe box and collar showcase a discreet micro-perforated texture. Staying true to its iconic design, the 999 still boasts its signature bulky midsole, which is equipped with ABZORB cushioning for ultimate comfort. This cushioning technology is crafted using a combination of isoprene rubber and proprietary foam materials.
