The 471 transforms ‘70s running heritage into a new, everyday go-to, with a reinterpretation of the era’s visual signatures. The sleek low profile, wedge-shaped EVA midsole, and herringbone outsole provide a familiar starting point, allowing the elevated material choices to take the lead. Breathable mesh uppers and hairy suede overlays provide an effortlessly lived-in look, while the classic ‘fang’ design at the toebox is a uniquely New Balance visual flourish that sets the 471 apart from the pack. New Balance's "Twilight Haze" nylon upper features hairy "Great Plains" suede overlays, while wedged EVA cushioning is underlined by herringbone rubber outsoles and exposed foam tongues offer up vintage qualities. 'True Red' leather 'N' logos morph across the sidewalls to finish symbolising the Boston brand's ever-evolving relationship with improved motion.
