New Balance's Quietly Cool Sneaker Is a Rain Boot in Dad Shoe Form

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

New Balance's newest 2010 sneaker behaves like a rain boot while wearing a quietly stylish dadcore uniform. Simply put, it's a cool GORE-TEX dad shoe.

The latest waterproof 2010 sneaker lands in this Field Green colorway, which is honestly more dark grey and, in certain lighting, completely blacked out. Couple the stylish color scheme with GORE-TEX tech, and you've got a pretty solid rainy-day sneaker on your hands — I mean, feet.

That's not all, either. The 2010 GORE-TEX sneaker also comes in a "Mushroom" colorway for those looking for a more earthy option.

But for those in the mood for something more low-key, the New Balance 2010 GORE-TEX "Field Green" sneakers are now available on Sneakersnstuff's website for £160, or around $214.

Brands have long used GORE-TEX on their trail and outdoor-focused models. However, now, we're getting GORE-TEX UGGs, New Balance skate shoes, and even waterproof dad shoes like the 2010s.

No shoe is safe, which is great. Now our favorite sneakers can stay fresh through wet-weather days.
