The New Balance XC-72 ‘Dry Sage’ applies vibrant earth tones to a modern silhouette influenced by retro ‘70s running shoes. An oversized ‘N’ logo in white leather dominates the breathable textile upper, finished in mint green and constructed from recycled polyester. The lightweight build is fortified with an olive green suede overlay and an external heel counter embossed with the herringbone outsole pattern of the 620. The sneaker rides on a cushy EVA midsole, supported by a gum rubber outsole featuring two different traction patterns from the XC15 and 375.
