New Balance‘s basketball division is getting into the holiday spirit with its latest footwear release.

The Boston-based sportswear brand announced on Instagram yesterday that it just launched the Christmas-themed New Balance Two Wxy V3 “Gingerbread” sneaker is now available in the US.

The New Balance Two Wxy V3 “Gingerbread” features a brown-based upper that’s designed to mimic the look of a gingerbread man. The shoe’s festive aesthetic continues with a white and green New Balance logo on the lateral side, green and red shoelaces, and multi-colored sock liners that are inspired by the various gingerbread man decorations. Continuing the Christmas-themed execution is a graphic of a gingerbread man printed on the footbed. The look of the shoe is completed with a white and red FuelCell foam midsole that’s equipped with Abzorb pillars at heel and forefoot for impact resistance along with a translucent outsole.

“Inspired by the brain firing synapses, the Two Wxy v3 is designed for basketball’s split-second reactions – the sudden accelerations, quick stops, pivots, and high-impact landings that occur throughout every game, New Balance wrote for the product description of the Two Wxy v3.
