Ho, ho, ho, it’s time to pack the sleigh and bring joy to the world, and if we were Santa, we’d be putting in a special order with the elves to grab this pair for the fit on the big day. Taking a page out of the Mall Santa playbook and bringing it to one of New Balance’s most beloved Made in USA silhouettes, this blend of suede and mesh is bringing St. Nick to your kicks.
The New Balance 993 Made in USA Red Black isn’t an explicit Christmas colorway, but this time of year, it can be hard not to imagine a big white beard when the shoes are draped in so much red. Starting with plush red suede that wraps from the toe, around the side panels, and onto the heel, matching red mesh fills in the rest of the upper. Black accents are added on the suede lace panel, mesh tongue, reflective heel panel, and sole. The colorway is rounded out with a reflective silver “N” on the side panel.
