New Balance’s England-Made Dad Shoe Is All Croc, No Bite
Don't worry. New Balance's latest 991v1 sneaker doesn't bite, but it does walk on the wild side of luxury.
The newest 991 sneaker offers cream-colored leather uppers with a croc skin finish, for a seriously high-end take on the dad shoe.
The "Oyster Grey" 991 sneaker also features smooth suede accents, but let's be honest, the "croc" details really steal the show.
After a casual tease earlier this year, New Balance's "Oyster Grey" 991 sneakers are now available at select retailers, including Extra Butter, which has them for $250. Remember, this is a high-quality New Balance sneaker made at the brand's Flimby factory, and its top-tier croc construction is reflected in the retail price.
Honestly, New Balance has been on a roll with its 991 sneakers, from classic grey pairs to those delicious "Chocolate Plum" leather iterations.
After seeing these croc 991s, there may very well be something in the Flimby waters. Spoiler: it's good-looking dad shoes.
