Push your style boundaries with the New Balance XC 72. Inspired by the speculative technological optimism of concept car design, these shoes reimagine their 1970s source material to change the way you look at fashion. Three distinctive traction outsole patterns and angular features come together to give the familiar low-cut sleekness of the era's running shoes an experimental and aggressive spin. New Balance XC 72 features: Suede and mesh upper offers a sporty look. Single-layer microfiber tongue enhances comfort. Squared toe shape inspired by the ‘70s concept car designs provides a retro edge. Stability heel clip featuring the 620's herringbone outsole pattern ensures superior support. Vertically split outsole with two hard ground traction designs – the XC15's ‘gripper' and the 375's studded pattern, delivers excellent grip.
