I am not sure that those blue seats are actually the "new" seats. I have seen them as well and they might just be the old seats with new cushions. Apparently, NWA has purchased all new seats from a new vendor to install. Since they just recently got FAA approval, we could not have seen them in an aircraft yet. Stay tuned for the "new" new seats!
