New Balance 993 Pays Footwear Homage To NYC

New Balance will debut a special limited edition NYC 993, a customized version of New Balance's heritage running shoe.

Available for men and women in black suede with taxi cab yellow contrast stitching, the details on the shoe's upper and insert celebrate uniquely New York City symbols, themes and landmarks.

The tongue features small apples with the wording "NB, 5B" a tribute to New Balance's rich history in New York City and its boroughs. "RUN NYC" is embroidered on the back heel, and the yellow insert highlights New York City landmarks, including Staten Island, the Bronx Zoo, Queens, Coney Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge.

The shoes are manufactured in the U.S., have a suggested retail price of $140 and will be available for a limited time at the New Balance booth at the marathon's expo as well as at select New York City-based retailers including Paragon Sports, Tip Top Shoes, and Eneslow shoes.
