The brains of professional ballers work at lightning speed to process their lightning quick reactions on the court. The firing of these brain synapses was the inspiration for the latest model from New Balance.

The New Balance TWO WXY V3 in Sea Salt gives you all the tools you need for sudden stops, pivots, accelerations and whatever other split-second decisions you need to make on the hardwood. Its brain-inspired design drops in men’s sizes on Jan. 13.

The majority of this shoe is a creamy off-white color, but there are several accents throughout. The upper features no-sew overlays in cloud-like, dotted patterns of white and navy along the toe and middle. On the lateral side, this is paired with a navy midfoot TPU shank for torsional rigidity. On the medial side, you’ll see “New Balance” in a red stippled font below the ankle.

Creamy leather covers the ankle and tongue, which features a fun logo twist. Each shoe features a brain logo — the right shoe in red, and the left shoe in red outline. There’s also an off-white “N” outlined in navy that covers the lace box. The laces themselves are cream with navy dots and strap into creamy cloth eyelets. Navy ankle padding keeps you secure as you twist and turn, while a navy heel tab with red and white New Balance branding makes it easier to slip the shoes on and off.

An off-white midsole features FuelCell on the heel as a reminder that these are packed with propulsive cushioning. The midsole cascades around the shoe in waves. Beneath it is a navy outsole. This outsole advertises its ABZORB pillars at the heel and forefoot with branding on the medial forefoot. On the bottom of the shoe is one last New Balance logo in white.

All in all, these basketball shoes are a fairly neutral offering on a model that has already seen plenty of more vibrant colorways. That makes them a good choice for players who want to let their outfits do the talking. Throw them on with red crew socks, navy basketball shorts and a white tee for a slightly patriotic look. Or, mix and match your favorite pair of neon joggers to go big.

While no one can play as fast as their brain fires synapses, that doesn’t mean you can’t try. Give it your best shot with the New Balance TWO WXY V3 in Sea Salt. These kicks drop on January 13 in men’s sizes, online and at your local Hibbett | City Gear. Miss out on the release?
