With an almost purplish tint, Pearl Grey is an underutilized color — but it makes a bold statement on the lower half of these New Balance 1000 sneakers. The 1999 design features off-white mesh and leather that emerge from above the pearl grey suede overlay panels, which blend into the sculpted midsole that has ABZORB cushioning at the heel and forefoot, combining with the Stability Web midfoot shank and pod-like outsole to provide stability and comfort.
