Originally designed as a long-distance daily runner back in the '80s, the 475 from New Balance is somewhat of a hidden archival gem. Today, the silhouette arrives in a seasonal ensemble of purple hues with breathable mesh topped with luxe suede and leather accents. Pillowed cushioning is provided through a combined PU and C-CAP midsole, while 'N' branding on the sidewalls ignites tradition. This shoe is made with a Leather & Textile Upper and a Synthetic Sole. It was originally released in 1986, and is designed as a high-milage daily running shoe. Its elegantly streamlined design and premium material mix easily makes the move from early morning pavement pounding to modern fashion. A classic mesh base is overlaid with premium suede and leather accents, while a lugged outsole and reflective detailing nod to the shoe’s performance roots.
