In celebration of International Women’s Day, New Balance is dropping two new kicks meant to support the ladies as they #ChooseToChallenge norms in their daily lives. The lineup includes a muted take on the 57/40 and the 2021 iteration of the FuelCell Rebel.
Here’s a closer look at each sneaker.
Model: New Balance 57/40
Approx. price: S$169
‘80s meet ‘90s: New Balance 57/40 merges ‘80s and ‘90s aesthetics with a touch of 2021 proportions. This gives the silhouette chunkier accents around the midsole with an upper that mirrors classic ‘80s sneakers. However, the midsole proportions mirror the wider stance of modern midsoles.
Minimalist spin: Arriving in pastel pink, orange or purple, the suede-clad sneakers offer up a simple tonal look that offers a premium, fashion-forward aesthetic. A completely different look as compared to the bold OG colorways.

Running faster: The new FuelCell Rebel v2 building on its predecessor, offering responsiveness for daily running and high-intensity workouts. It has New Balance’s high rebound FuelCell midsole paired with grippy Nudurance rubber on the outsole for a balance of grip and high energy return.
Breathable comfort: The uppers are constructed out of engineered mesh with bold branding across the lateral sides with asymmetrical patterns.
