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.
