The US only has a few true hubs for tropical fruit, but compared to the UK, the states may as well be a tropical paradise. So while New Balance’s Made in UK line takes inspiration from the dreary grey skies and earth tones of the local wildlife, Teddy Santis and the New Balance Made in USA team are heading down to Miami and Puerto Rico for a bit of inspiration from America’s humid regions full of colorful, sweet fruit.
The New Balance 993 Made in USA Passion Fruit is a perfect representation of the tart fruit, starting with a bold coat of two-tone purple on the suede and mesh upper. The bottom half brings a darker, richer tone like the outer skin of an older passion fruit, while the top half goes brighter like a younger fruit. The side panel “N” logo completes the look with a bright yellow color representing the fruit’s slimy tart interior.
