Those with a penchant for all-black NB fare will know by now that the Boston brand isn’t afraid of issuing plenty of adjacent takes on the same concept, even within the same silhouette. We’ve seen that with a host of New Balance 9060 “Black Cat” variations, but saw once again that on display in recent days as another New Balance 2010
The latest "Black Cat" treatment arrives on the 2010 model. While the "Black Cat" theme remains consistent—featuring a monochromatic, all-black color scheme—this application on the performance-inspired 2010 model brings a distinct texture and silhouette to the fore. The use of matte mesh, sleek synthetic panels, and muted suede overlays creates a stealthy, cohesive look that's both versatile and technical. New Balance continues to feed the demand for versatile, head-to-toe black sneakers by applying its popular "Black Cat" treatment across more models. This 2010 iteration is the latest proof that when it comes to this coveted aesthetic, the brand believes in more than one life.
