NEW BALANCE XC-72 "GREY DAY" MEN'S SHOES

The new XC-72 pushes its classic sources of inspiration even further into unexplored territory, with a time-bending design inspired by the speculative technological optimism of 1970s concept cars. 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 
• Stability heel clip featuring the 620s herringbone outsole pattern              
• Hairy suede upper with recycled content in N logo, lace, and lining. Vamp features textile with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers derived from renewable wood sources.
