After debuting in an on-the-nose, croc-textured patent leather, one of New Balance’s latest lifestyle sneakers is getting a more breathable material makeup for warmer weather.

The New Balance Gator Run will soon introduce a mesh base to its construction, with two styles set to be released Wednesday. Along with their summer-friendly builds, both colorways are also energized with bright shades; one in a yellow Apollo Gold/Black (style code UGTR9SR) and another in Dry Lime/Mosaic Green (style code UGTR5T9).

Each new pair features a mesh base supported by suede structural overlays, nylon tongues and of course, the Gator Run’s signature toothy outsole. It’s all presented in a low-profile build inspired by the Boston-based sportswear company’s 1982 Gator turf shoe.
