Inspired by the speculative technological optimism of concept car design, New Balance’s new XC-72 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
• CR featuring the 620’s herringbone outsole pattern
• Upper features chrome-free pig suede overlays and chrome-free leather vamp. Chrome-free leather does not use chromium in the tanning process, which can be harmful to people and the environment when the leather is disposed.
• Single layer microfiber tongue
• Suede/ Mesh
• Lace
