What does the 'Grey Day' designation mean?

'Grey Day' is a New Balance celebration of the color grey, a signature hue for the brand. This sneaker is part of their Grey Day releases.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces with standard flat cotton or polyester laces of a similar length. New Balance often offers replacement laces.

Reduced cushioning or support over time

Ensure the shoes are not overused without rest days. Consider rotating with other footwear. The internal cushioning is designed for durability but will naturally decrease with extensive wear.
