Can you ever remember seeing leather on a pair of the New Balance 999 Elite? The 999 in general seems sort of allergic to that material and much more prone to stick to the suedes (And the occasional ripstop panel a la the Kennedys). The good news is that the New Balance in question will soon differentiate just a bit with this April release, which slaps a little bit of leather onto the paneling up top. Take another look at the shoes after the break and watch for continued previews of upcoming New Balance goodies right here on Sneaker News.
