It is a new day, and a new set of colorways released in the New Balance collection. Introducing the “Phantom and Sulfur” collection, two highly contrasting color mashups highlighting the Tekela v2 and Furon v5 silos. The colors on both are pretty much inverted, bar the soleplate, where the Tekela gets a sulfur to phantom fade, while the Furon is treated to a sulfur to white fade for dramatic effect.
Unlike many other New Balance releases, there is no real significant story to go along with the releases. This is more of a mainstay pack release that provides players with another fresh option in both silos. More details on each boot below!
