The 2010 Comes in Ostrich Leather Today
The Whitaker Group put steel grey ostrich texture on a runner that normally lives in plain mesh. It lands today at $155.
The Whitaker Group and New Balance have been quietly building one of the better ongoing relationships in the sneaker business, and this is the one you will want. Steel grey ostrich-textured leather, light beige mesh underneath, and a purple hit on the heel pods and the tongue tag that you only catch when the light moves.
The 2010 is a dad-shoe chassis with visible cushioning in the heel, which means texture reads on it better than it does on anything slimmer. Pebbled quill grain against flat technical mesh is the whole idea. Unisex sizing, SKU U2010GR1, out today.
$155 for ostrich-print leather is the kind of math that empties a size run before lunch.
