Three juggernauts in the menswear scene — Beams, New Balance, and Paperboy — teamed up on their own interpretation of the 920 NB model and it paid off handsomely. In an all-grey colorway, this shoe has the neutrality and versatility of a sneaker that’s meant to be worn: easily pairing with suits, jeans, or anything else you’re wearing that day. Keeping a lower profile with bold elements like suede upper panels and reflective details, it’s an exercise in restraint to keep it simple without going overboard. And they did it just right.
