"Warm Skies" Inspired These New Balance Sneakers; Release Date April 1

New Balance has been making inroads in the world of performance athletic gear thanks to the likes of NBA and WNBA stars Cooper Flagg, Cameron Brink, Tyrese Maxey, and international footballers Bukayo Saka and Timothy Weah. Yet, the Boston-based company continues to carve out time to develop lifestyle-focused collections for athletes and non-athletes alike. The brand's latest effort draws inspiration from "Warm Skies."

The newly surfaced footwear capsule comprises five styles: New Balance 204L, ABZORB 2000, 740, and two takes on the all-new Ellipse running shoe. Each pair features a cream-colored "Angora" tone that sets the stage for a medley of hues, bringing the phenomenon of a colorful sunrise to sneaker form. "Shertbet, "Dry Lime," and "Star Burst" accents appear across the range in the form of gradient finishes.

The "Warm Skies" Collection is exclusive to New Balance and blends performance heritage, modern innovation, and fashion-forward elements. The Ellipse—a running sneaker co-signed by the likes of NFL quarterback Josh Allen and Olympic gold-winning sprinter Gabby Thomas—sees two makeovers intended specifically for either Men or Women. Both, however, boast the capsule's overall soft-colored base and pops of color, ensuring sport can be done without compromising style.

Enjoy a closer look at the "Warm Skies" lineup ahead. All pairs release exclusively via NewBalance.com and at New Balance stores on Wednesday, April 1.

The "Warm Skies" 204L is available through Early Access to qualified, select New Balance members. Pricing for the collection ranges from $115 to $170.
