New Balance has an incredible number of grey shades at its fingertips. The Boston-based brand is known for its plain grey shade that made dad shoes famous and sparked the annual Grey Days holiday, but sometimes, they pull out grey shades we had never previously considered. For the latest colorway of the Allerdale walking shoe, New Balance heads to the edges of the grey family with a Vaporous shade.
The New Balance Allerdale Made in UK Vaporous Grey features a creamy, off-white leather that somehow fits into the grey name, despite its nearly-white appearance. The plush leather covers the entire upper, with the same color extending down to the midsole and outsole for a complete monochrome look.

The New Balance logo on the side panel is barely visible in white thread, while the laces do their best to match the upper in a slightly creamier off-white shade. Finally, a slight color shift is added to the interior of the pair, with rich brown leather on the sockliner.
The New Balance Allerdale Made in UK Vaporous Grey will be released June 18, 2026, through New Balance and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $250. For all the latest New Balance news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
