The upper of the New Balance 610T features glossy patent leather finishes in a brownish Desert Palm color. The vamp is a textile with a honeycomb-like imprint. On either side of the forefoot is a chromogenic material, which adopts varied hues as the shoes change position. The quarter panels have a textile underlay with the "N" New Balance logo in a True Yellow outline. "610" branding appears on the lateral heel, while a brown-and-yellow pull tab runs from the counter to the collar.
