Teddy Santis has had a significant impact as the creative director of New Balance's Made in USA line, seamlessly integrating his design sensibilities from Aime Leon Dore. His work has refined the brand's iconic silhouettes, making them a staple in contemporary streetwear. Following looks at the Paris-exclusive 990v6 and 997, Santis and New Balance are set to unveil a new addition to his upcoming Season 6 collection: the New Balance 993 Made in USA in Sea Salt Castlerock.
The New Balance 993 Made in USA Sea Salt Castlerock exemplifies the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and quality. This iteration features a premium pigskin suede upper with an ultra-hairy finish, providing a rich texture and visual appeal. The suede overlays are presented in a sophisticated castlerock grey, contrasted by a wide-spaced mesh base in a tan finish.
Accents of brown nubuck appear on the toe, collar, and tongue, adding depth to the design. The tongue also features white Made in USA branding, highlighting the sneaker's American craftsmanship. Further white elements include the lace set, sockliner, heel tab, and the iconic N logo on the midfoot, providing a clean and cohesive look. Underfoot sits a two-tone cream and tan midsole, providing optimal comfort and support, while a black and cream outsole ensures grip and stability.
The New Balance 993 Made in USA Sea Salt Castlerock will release August 15, 2024, through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $220. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
