Straddling performance and luxury, the New Balance 009 Suede borrows pieces from the classic 900 series to present a modern-day mashup. A metallic neoprene collar with an integrated tongue and a mesh toe box shape the internal bootie. The brand's classic 'N' logo is cut into the midfoot. Heel reinforcement and a mesh underlay structure the counter. An IMEVA midsole and speckled rubber outsole merge for durable cushioning.
