New Balance Lunar New Year ''Year of the Tiger'' Collection.
In celebration of the Lunar New Year, New Balance has also released a special collection of sneakers that refer to the Chinese zodiac sign Year of the Tiger balanced with soft color blocks, making them real eye-catchers:
The New Balance 57/40 'Eclipse Nightwatch Green' is inspired by the iconic New Balance 574 from the 90s and has a suede and mesh upper and a sturdy outsole for extreme comfort and a casual look. It comes together with the colorway 'Black With Poppy' and refers to the camouflage colors of the Year of the Tiger.
Based on an older model from the 70s, the New Balance XC-72 has now returned with red and black tiger camo stripes added down the center of the toes and across the heels. It features shades of gray on the sidewalls and the suede overlays on the toe box and heels are solid black. The oversized N logos stand out in a lighter gray shade and the ribbed heel shape is decorated with a mustard yellow exterior.
The New Balance 327 Lunar New Year Collection comes with bold designs focused on contrast and detail. Coming in 2 colorways, it features a neutral upper covered in suede, with mismatched embellishments on the eyes. The 327's signature large-scale N branding stands out in contrast, while a tiger camouflage tongue label serves as a subtle nod to the Year of the Tiger.
