The collaboration between Stray Rats and New Balance brings forth the Stray Rats x New Balance 991 Made in England 'Black Purple', a testament to the convergence of sportswear and streetwear cultures originating from the American East Coast. Crafted in New Balance's highly regarded Flimby factory, this retro runner showcases a sleek black pigskin suede upper adorned with grey nubuck overlays. The otherwise neutral color scheme is invigorated by reflective elements and vibrant purple accents, notably seen on the iconic 'N' logo and '//stray' branding located on the lateral forefoot. Moreover, the inclusion of a black ABZORB midsole ensures exceptional lightness and comfort with each stride taken.
