New Balance Celebrates “Grey Day” by Honoring Its Timeless Grey Colour and Lasting Brand Legacy

To mark the day, the brand unveils new “Moon Daze” pack and MADE in USA Grey Day Collection, among other grey product offerings.

Kuala Lumpur, 12 May 2023 – Today, New Balance is celebrating “Grey Day”—a day that pays homage to the new and classic expressions of the brand’s enduring legacy in the colour grey. In the late 1970s, grey was originally born as a solution for urban runners whose white shoes were getting destroyed by  city conditions. The grey suede reinforced durability, matched the colour of asphalt, and fit seamlessly into consumers’ lifestyle. Countless iterations of grey products later, the connection between the colour and New Balance remains everlasting and endlessly versatile.

In tribute to Grey Day, the brand will release several exclusive new products including:

  • A bespoke “Moon Daze” collection that will include versions of three classic New Balance silhouettes: the 550, 580 and 9060. Drawing inspiration from the future and prompting us to think further beyond our world, “Moon Daze” begs the question: What would shoes look like after walking on another planet?
  • A MADE in USA* capsule which outfits the 990v4, 990v6, 996, and 998, in grey hues.

The brand will also launch a curated shop of existing grey footwear and apparel on https://www.newbalance.com.my/the-grey-shop/.
