These purple New Balance M998 low top sneakers are crafted with purple, black and white suede and mesh panels and feature a round toe, panelled design, lace-up fastening, pink accents, branded tongue and heel counter. The trainers are complete with the signature embroidered ‘N’ logo to the sidewalls. The name New Balance actually comes from founder William Riley observing chickens in his backyard, and how a three-toed foot best supported a body. To him, this was 'new balance'. Every day is a school day, here at Browns.
