However, New Balance appears to be cooking up a special release honoring this year’s host city of Paris, France.

This version is said to be fairly limited in number, and rumored to release exclusively in Paris later this month. The look features a white mesh base for the upper with layers of leather and suede in dark shades of brown. The oversized ‘N’ logos come in a dark green shade, while red satin lining completes the look.
