New Balance | Inspired by the speculative technological optimism of concept car design, New Balance’s new XC72 model reimagines its 1970s source material as a boundary erasing contemporary statement. Three distinctive traction outsole patterns and angular features are employed to give the familiar low-cut sleekness of the era’s running shoes an aggressive, experimental edge. The XC-72 is the future that the past dreamed about, come to life. | Vertically split outsole features two hard ground traction designs the XC15’s ‘gripper’ and the 375’s studded pattern | Stability heel clip featuring the 620s herringbone outsole pattern | Suede and mesh upper with synthetic N logo | Rubber outsole and heel clip with 5% recycled content | Single layer microfiber tongue | Squared toe shape inspired by 1970s concept car designs
