New Balance is bringing back a fan-favorite colorway with the upcoming release of the 1000 “Black Cat”. True to its name, this iteration embraces an all-black, shadowy aesthetic, perfect for low-key wear and versatile styling.
The design utilizes a mix of matte and suede black finishes across the shoe's upper, with subtle texture variations providing depth. The iconic "N" logo, laces, and midsole maintain the monochrome theme, while contrasting grey hits on the branding and a pops on the outsole complete the stealthy look.
