New Balance today announces a “Celebration of Grey” lasting several weeks, at which both new and classic models will be presented in this characteristic brand color.

‍

In the 1980s, New Balance deliberately introduced the color gray when designing outstanding running shoes — a decision that was made with the same expertise as any other performance feature.

‍

‍

In line with New Balance's ethos of being bold and independent, the color gray stood out from the competition and proved to be the perfect combination for the concrete and asphalt backdrop of urban running.

It wasn't long before people realized that gray running shoes looked good everywhere. While the models have evolved over the years with ever new technologies and materials, embodied Grey The timeless quality and style of New Balance continues — in every form.

‍

‍

As an homage to Grey On May 10, the brand will release a short film titled “Grey Days“, which pays homage to New Balance's ever-present influence on the many facets of global sneaker culture — from sports to the street and everything in between.

There are seven scenes that lead to a seven-minute movie, with each scene highlighting a different aspect of the brand's story. The film was shot in collaboration between creative directors Thom Glover and Daniel Wolfe as well as Elliott Power and cameraman Norm Li. The perfectly executed retro animations in the style of the 1960s are by Stray London and the still images by Samuel Bradley.

‍UPDATE 10 MAY 2024: Here is the complete "Grey Days" movie.
