New Balance Performance Outerwear, the newest licensee of New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc, has teamed with Nano-Tex to fuse fashion and performance in its new, vintage-inspired Circa V outerwear line.
The new line features Nano-Tex Outdoor(R), a super durable water repellency treatment. Nostalgia meets new technology in the Circa V line.
Circa V was inspired by exploration heroes of yesterday, featuring authentic silhouettes and sturdy, high-count cotton material to give the line real retro appeal. The advanced water repellent technology ensures that consumers will stay warm and comfortable while protecting them from outside elements.
New Balance unveiled the Circa V collection at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market Show, January 28-31, 2006, in Salt Lake City. The line will be available at retail stores starting in fall 2006. Suggested retail prices range from $130 to $280.
Shannon Hayward, Vice President of sales and marketing for New Balance Performance Outerwear, said, "Even the most adventurous outdoor enthusiast has to come down off the mountain once in a while."
"Circa V brings an urban sense of style to these nostalgic pieces that have been designed with true to the day silhouettes and trims," Hayward added.
The collection includes nine styles of men's and women's parkas, puffer coats, bomber jackets, down vests and Bog coats. Colors range from vintage hues of red, orange, tan and powder blue, to chocolate, cream, purple and forest.
