The Backstory
The New Balance 850 is a retro lifestyle shoe from New Balance that was originally released back in 1996. It has the quintessential 90s look that retro fans love and is on pace for a big comeback year in 2020.
Although the shoe isn’t officially nicknamed “Retro Insider”, I thought it was fitting due to the colorway of the shoe.
The Materials
This shoe’s upper is made from a mix of quality materials that include:
Suede
Synthetic Materials
Premium Mesh
Moving down the shoe, the midsole is made from New Balance’s ABZORB technology in the forefoot and rear-foot and ROLLBAR TPU offers support on the medial side.
Release and Resell Predictions
This is a general release shoe that should be available directly from New Balance and other retailers. Nothing suggests that this will be a limited release so you shouldn’t have trouble copping a pair, but I still suggest that you don’t sleep.
The previous colorways of this shoe have done well, so I’d suggest that you cop ASAP if you can’t live without these.
