The New Balance XC-72 ‘White Black’ steps out in a simplistic two-tone color scheme. The retro-inspired lifestyle runner features a white recycled mesh upper with tonal suede overlays and an oversized black leather ‘N’ logo. Atop the single-layer microfiber tongue, crimson NB branding delivers an isolated pop of contrasting color. The sneaker rides on a lightweight EVA midsole, supported by a speckled gum rubber outsole with split traction patterns borrowed from the XC15 and 375.
