There is hardly a slow news day for New Balance. The Boston-based brand is accelerating in all directions thanks to its highly-anticipated collaborations and expansion into the professional sports world.

On Friday, May 12, the brand will celebrate 'Grey Day'. The celebration is meant to pay homage to the new and classic expressions of the brand’s signature and enduring legacy color, grey.

Following the release of its first all-grey colorway in the 1980s, 2023 sees it reveal its first ‘Grey Day’ football boot, with the Furon v7 arriving in a unique grey colorway. New Balance ambassador Bukayo Saka will debut the performance model on the pitch against Chelsea on Tuesday.

The New Balance Furon v7 is the brand's best football boot to date. Thanks to its innovative Hypoknit upper and off-set lacing, the model delivers impressive support and an increased strike zone.

While fans anxiously await the release of the 'Grey Day' colorway, they can choose between other styles and selections of the Furon v7 on the New Balance website.

Few brands can match New Balance's level of storytelling, and even fewer can compete with its performance technology. The New Balance Furon v7 looks and performs well in any colorway, but the 'Grey Day' option is a must-have for fans of the brand.
