New Balance has always prioritized function over fashion resulting in footwear that is unapologetic and earnest... and therefore fashionable. But intention aside, it doesn't hurt that in the pursuit of comfort and performance, NB's signature innovations lead to sneakers with many literal layers. Not only do these layers combine to create the instantly recognizable silhouettes we know today, these onions of the sneaker world hold the potential for unrivaled color and textural combinations.

Their M2002RWC collab with J. Crew perfectly illustrate this. Sure the impact-absorbing midsoles and arch support from the Stability Web technology will help to keep your feet comfortable all day long, but can we just admire that color palette and suede accents?
