New Balance has masterfully transitioned from being viewed as the quintessential "dad shoe" brand to a staple within the sneakerhead and fashion communities. This transformation is primarily thanks to the brand's deep history with mesh runner models like the 860v2, which has seen its sole unit ingeniously adapted into other celebrated models such as the 2002R and 1906R. As New Balance continues to redefine athletic footwear, UK-based retailer size? is set to cement this legacy further with the exclusive release of the New Balance 860v2 Bacon.
The New Balance 860v2 Bacon by size? is a culinary-inspired masterpiece, drawing aesthetic cues from the savory slices of bacon. The sneaker showcases a delectable palette of cream and silver across its upper, accented with tasteful brown, pink, and red pops reminiscent of the iconic Bacon Air Max 90's color scheme. The shoe's base features a creamy mesh on the toe and collar, contrasted by a rich chocolate brown on the midfoot. Strategic placements of red on the top-most eyestay and the piping of the N logo add a vibrant touch, while pink accents on the vamp, bottom eyestay, and heel overlay introduce a subtle sweetness to the overall design. The ensemble is completed with an off-white 860v2 midsole and a chocolate brown outsole, blending performance with palate-pleasing aesthetics.
The New Balance 860v2 Bacon (size? Exclusive) will release on July 12, 2024, exclusively via size? online and in-store. Coming in unisex sizing, retail is set at £150 (approx $192 USD).
