New Balance’s Niobium Concept 2 Appears In “Natural Indigo” And “Chocolate Brown”

July 7, 2021, New Balance has been committed to comfortable, high-quality footwear. And while so many propositions have found their stride within the running space, a handful have enjoyed lifespans entirely as made-for-leisure options. Case in point: the Niobium Concept 2.

Inspired by off-road, trail-ready footwear, the sandal lends itself perfectly for lounging around the backyard or for short errand runs around the city. Two lockdown straps across the mid-foot deliver security and fit customization via robust buckles, while a Vibram® outsole delivers tried-and-proven traction for even the most uneven sidewalk curbs. A mix of mesh and suede make up the bulk of the sandal’s upper, with the heel portion coming in ever-so-slightly lower than the top of the toe for easy entry and improved breathability. Lastly, the “Pigment/Natural Indigo” and “Incense/Chocolate Brown” color palettes that take over the Niobium Concept 2’s latest two styles deliver a less utilitarian aesthetic than a previous collaborative version by Snow Peak did. Nevertheless, all three editions of the slip-on shoe are testaments to NB’s dedication to comfort and quality.

Enjoy official images of both colorways here below, and head over to NewBalance.com on July 9th to secure your pair(s) for $200 USD each.
