New Balance is channeling some midnight energy with an upcoming "Black Cat" colorway of the rugged 1000 silhouette. Set to land just as the days grow shorter, this stealthy iteration lives up to its feline namesake.

The design features a near-uniform matte black suede and mesh upper, punctuated only by subtle grey hits on the branding and a stark white midsole for contrast. Built for traction and stability, the outsole continues the dark theme, making for a cohesive, all-terrain ready look.
