No shoe has as much understated weight behind it than the New Balance 993. From Scandi minimalists to tech billionaires and dads on holiday, it appeals across the board for good reason.

That is, the 993 in its OG grey colorway. There are exceptions from the rule, such as the very very red New Balance 993 Team Red, which throws minimalism to the wind in exchange for head-turning character.

Part of the Made in USA line, this New Balance 993 features high-end suedes and has been made by experts with a meticulous eye for detail. 

But even with the world’s most luxurious fabrics and handcrafted details, the construction would take a backseat here. The real star of this show is the colorway.

Delivered in Team Red, the New Balance 993 looks more fiery than ever. Exchanging its standard safe, well-behaved personality for something much more noteworthy.

While the Team Red colorway might be bold, the silhouette itself remains highly wearable, with a comfortable Abzorb sole unit and versatile shape. 

As we slowly enter the summer months and shorts are back on the menu, bold footwear choices like the New Balance 993 Team Red become an essential item for the wardrobe.
