The New Balance 471 "Grey" U471AH model combines trail shoe inspiration with everyday comfort and a versatile gray color that works well with both urban outfits and outdoor activities. The design is based on archival trail models but has been adapted to the modern needs of urban lifestyle users. The upper, constructed from a combination of mesh and synthetic panels, provides breathability and durability. The "Grey" colorway blends shades of light gray with darker accents, giving the shoe a technical yet understated feel. The lateral "N" logo underscores the sporty heritage and adds a classic NB touch. The outsole is designed with traction in mind – an aggressive, trail-inspired tread allows for confident movement on both asphalt and more varied terrain. An EVA midsole provides adequate cushioning and all-day comfort. 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.
