Take Flight with the Kingfisher
Taking flight for the fall, a new collaboration between The Apartment and New Balance adds bright blue and teal green to a Gore-Tex-coated colorway of the 2010 silhouette. The colorway takes inspiration from the kingfisher, a bird with habitat everywhere from North America to the Asian Pacific. The Apartment first brought a bird theme to New Balance with a Toucan colorway of the ML801 in 2020, and now, the Kingfisher continues the theme for the second half of the decade.
