Both HAVEN & New Balance have went for a lush grey colour scheme this time around, embellishing the sneakers with rich 3M highlights alongside a bevvy of other functional materials. At the top of the tongue, a glossy “MADE IN THE USA” patch is stamped over a bed of breathable CORDURA fabric, while flat, reflective splinter-patterned laces cover the central forefoot. Other areas with 3M accenting include New Balance’s woven “N” logo at the sides, the “v”-marked heel counter and a set of angular strips that outline the toebox. All of these details sit atop suede mudguards and an essential ENCAP-equipped midsole, offering optimal cushioning and stability.
