New Balance's Pretty Mary Jane Sneaker Nails Balletcore With Ease (& Breeze)
It's a good time to be a New Balance fan, especially if you enjoy a good sandal hybrid. Why? The brand just brought back its most stylish laceless model yet, the Breeze Mary Jane.
The Breeze is honestly an all-year model now, thanks to New Balance making a winter-ready version with UGG-level fluff last year. But the latest release sees the Mary Jane return in its classic ballet sneaker form.
Of course, that includes the usual fixings, like the mesh and suede uppers, large Mary Jane-style strap, and the signature chunky soles (a New Balance dad shoe signature). This time, New Balance has dressed the Breeze in a pleasing, faded pink color called "Peony."
The "Peony" is one of three new color schemes. The brand has also prepared a Breeze shoe in beige and cream. But of course, the pinkest pair is easily the prettiest of them all.
As we speak, all colorways are up for grabs for around $95 on New Balance Korea's website.
New Balance's Breeze model is an overseas-exclusive, meaning these will be hard to find elsewhere. This has become the case with most of the brand's cooler-looking sneaker-sandals, like the New Balance Kave (which also just got some new colorways) and even its all-new 9060 Summer.
Well, time to either call up your Korean connection or move across the water. Choice is yours.
