New Balance's 471 brings '70s running heritage to a modern audience by reinterpreting the design cues of the transformative era. Breathable mesh is overlaid with hairy suede panelling on the neutrally toned upper, while a touch of colour is introduced on the sidewall 'N' branding. Supporting you from below is a wedge EVA midsole and grippy herringbone rubber outsole. This sneaker nods to ‘70s running heritage with hairy suede, breathable mesh, and a throwback foam tongue. A fang-style toebox and herringbone outsole bring vintage energy, while a lightweight EVA midsole ensures comfort that lasts. Retro-inspired, built for now — this one’s anything but ordinary. Features a mesh upper, hairy suede overlays, lace-up closure, appliqué branding, foam midsole, and rubber outsole. Style Code: U471GR.
