New Balance “Cherry Blossom” 999 Collection

Cherry Blossoms… the star of every Instagram picture taken in South Korea and Japan. And possibly, the flower every die-hard romantic wants to be given – apart from the overrated rose. Or, on the simpler end of symbolism, Cherry Blossoms mean the beginning of Spring.

In celebration of this, New Balance has released two colourways of the 999 model, which draws inspiration from this ushering of Spring by Mother Nature. The soft pink version mimics the colour of the Cherry Blossom flowers, and the mint green version complements the collection by referencing the leaves of the Cherry Blossom tree.

The New Balance “Cherry Blossom” 999 collection retails for $169.00 and come in unisex sizing from US4-12. It launches on 12^th April 2014 at all New Balance Concept Stores, Leftfoot and Limited Edt stores.
