Feed Your Feet the New Balance 610v1 ‘Beef and Broccoli’

and green, aka , remains one of the tastiest colour combinations for sneakers. Originally coined because of the pairing’s resemblance to the popular Chinese takeaway dish and popularised by some hiking boots, the combo has since spread to the rest of the footwear realm. In this case, it’s on the New Balance 610v1, a hiking sneaker loosely modelled on Y2K-era performance shoes.

There definitely is a bit of a pastiche going on here, with the multiple layered panels and mixed material use hallmarks of turn-of-the-century design. Suede and mesh is par the course for a model such as this, and brown is right at home on models of this ilk. The uppers and soles are suitably rugged per the cliche, with chunky protrusions and analogue hardware such as fill and overlock stitching fitted for abrasion resistance instead of invisible tech. That being said, the one USP putting in work that isn’t immediately obvious is the C-CAP cushioning underfoot.

The New Balance 610v1 ‘Beef and Broccoli’ is available right now direct from NB, and it starts at size 5 and runs all the way up to a 16, which should satisfy the out there.
