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 luxe ensemble - breathable mesh is topped with soft premium 'Light Arctic Grey' and 'Blue Laguna' suede accents. Pillowed cushioning is provided through a combined PU and C-CAP midsole, while 'N' branding on the sidewalls ignites tradition. The U475 were first launched in 1986, bringing back classic style and great comfort. The U475 was first launched in 1986 and brings back classic style and premium comfort.
