The edgy and experimental design stays true to New Balance's performance-driven roots with three distinctive traction outsole patterns and a stability heel clip. Stay agile and shift your performance up a gear with the New Balance XC 72. Vertically split outsole features two hard ground traction designs - the XC15’s ‘gripper’ and the 375’s studded pattern for superior traction.
