New Balance’s Latest Fresh Foam Hierro v6 Sneaker Debuts This Week
New Balance is adding a new sneaker to its hiking and trail product offerings this week.
The Boston-based brand is dropping its latest Fresh Foam Hierro v6 on Thursday featuring styles for men and women to wear during their outdoor adventures. The brand took an eco-friendly approach when it came time to design this low-top silhouette as seen with the recycled materials used for the collar and tongue, including cork on the tongue tag. The upper boasts a snug bootie construction that hugs the wearer’s foot providing a supportive fit while the brand’s Fresh Foam midsole cushioning delivers a plush and lightweight ride. Rounding out the design, the brand tapped outsoles specialist Vibram for superior grip.
