For New Balance’s Sandy Skate Shoe, Less Is Really More
New Balance shoes never needed to do much to be great. Their normalcy is what makes them special and stylish. And I'm not just talking about the dad shoes. Even its skateboarding shoes hit in their simplest color schemes.
The New Balance 440v2 High "Quicksand" is a great example. It's a beige-and-black version of the high-top sneaker, with suede and mesh uppers and the usual skate fixings.
And that's all, folks.
Nothing more or less is needed. It's perfect as is.
The 440v2 sneakers — the Low, High, and Trail versions — already kind of look like one of New Balance's dad shoes but in session-ready mode. So, they can't help but look good even on their most casual days. It's in their DNA.
And for those looking to cop these satisfying "Quicksand" skate shoes, New Balance's latest 440v2 High is now available on Premier's website for $90.
