Available: New Balance US993C Custom

The new year is already being rev-uped by New Balance as they introduce a new custom shoe to their online palette. It’s non other than the durable and high-mileage trainer, the New Balance US993. The heritage silhouette, originally released in 1980, is a renowned model around the world. Still used today as a trainer, its no surprise that it makes it’s debut as a custom shoe…

On this introduction to the New Balance US993C, you’ll get to play with twenty four different colors (one new hue), four materials and panels galore. If you already played with the NB574C, than you know what to expect from the colors available (For those that don’t know, you can check out the list below). There is only one new color added by the name of Peacoat. It can only be applied to the throat stay and heel tab overlay. In the material department, you can make-up your custom NB993US from suede, 3M reflect and a new leather added in the form of nubuck. Exciting to see nubuck, but you are limited to only using it on the vamp accent, tongue tag, heel tab, and heel tab overlay. One other point is that the nubuck is only accessible with six colors and the N logo can only be applied with nine colors. Also, the actual N stays grey and is unchangeable no matter what color you choose to make the logo base. The 3M reflect is on two areas of the shoe, the heel tab overlay and the throat stay. They can be applied with either Black or Grey. The two last options you are given to change on the shoe, are the speed lace (front ankle plastic lace holes) in six different hues and the tongue overlay in sixteen hues. The midsole stays as the classic and generic colors of Grey and White.

The shoes are now ready to build at shopnewbalance.com. The cost is $174.95 with free shipping and takes anywhere from ONLY, 4 to 8 business days to arrive at your place of residency. Take your time if you decide to make one, its’s a difficult one to color block. I’ll be giving it a try, but it’ll be a while before I actually order one. I want to play around with it for a few weeks. Enjoy!
