The New Balance 991 “Year of the Ox” is a special look for the retro inspired lifestyle shoe that honors the traditional Chinese holiday. Turning 20 years old in 2021, the “Year of the Ox” also celebrates the model’s heritage with this ultra versatile look for the former running shoe. A rustic plush brown suede material is layered over the brown mesh base on the mid-panel and eyelets. Tonal leather overlays appear on the forefoot and heel.
