The running shoes of the 1970s might best be described as deceptively simple. While lacking the visible technology and aggressive design of later years, the innovations of the ‘70s would lay the foundation for modern performance. The 237 is a contemporary reinterpretation of ‘70s running heritage that melds a range of heritage design inspirations into one deceptively simple, exceptionally versatile, contemporary silhouette. An EVA midsole, herringbone outsole and streamlined upper offer a classic launching point for modern flourishes like oversized N branding, extended midsole length, and gator inspired foxing and mudguard. You could call the cohesion of the 237's familiar feel and exaggerated updates the simplest way to make a statement.

First, they look great. I love the style, the look, the stitching, the laces. Unique and timeless.The comfort, however, is even better. I've read several reviews on this site saying "the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn." Well, these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.I love mine! So so comfy! Really happy about my new pair of shoes. Honestly, I've never been more pleased with a purchase. All that is left for me to do at this point is decide which pair I'm going to get next!!

I normally do not leave reviews, but this is more for DSW than the shoes. I ordered this for my son and what i got was totally different. I got a black and green sneaker (very ugly) instead of the black and grey i ordered and what is featured in the picture. I am definitely disappointed and will be returning this but now i am afraid to reorder and have the same thing delivered to me. To think that shipments go through at least 2 levels of reviews for validation before they are shipped and no one noticed that my order and what was being shipped to me were 2 different things. Appalling!

These shoes look super cool and a lot of people at my job commented on them. However, after wearing them all day, my feet hurt pretty bad. I usually wear Merrell shoes which fit amazingly and have never made my feet hurt. So, when I wear them, I'm usually not planning on a full day use too often. In soles may stop the issue

Just got these but love them so far! They're cute and really comfortable! I am an avid runner, and while I wear Brooks running shoes, these feel comfortable enough to workout/run in as well! They have good cushioning and give me a little extra height (which I love bc I'm only 5'2)! The only thing I will say is that one of the laces was a little stained on the end, but it's hardly noticeable and I don't mind. Overall I would recommend these! :)
Went with 3* for the following reasons:PROS- A+ for comfort- I repeat, A+ for comfort- Solid marks for style & attractivenessCONS- I was caught in a rain storm and the burgundy & navy colors bled all over the mesh fabric lining. The stains will not come out. After air drying I tried cleaning color stains with water + Dawn and they became worse. HUGE BUMMER.-Mesh liner severely worn where right big toe rubs against it - mesh is NOT durable and a hole will develop soon.
I am a very active person. I walk / run on average 15 miles a day (literally according to my Apple Watch) between work, errands (on foot) around the city, and exercise. These are the first shoes in years that gave me no blistered at all. They immediately molded to my feet. I love the platform that adds a little bit of height & gives a more fashionable look for casual outfits. I will be buying more of this style in the future. 🥰
I am so pleased with this New Balance sneaker. I purchased the black version and it looks so cute on. They look great with skinny jeans and I’m also looking forward to wearing them with shorts in the hot Utah summer. They are also extremely comfortable, which has been my prior experience with NB.
Beautiful versatile neutral sneaker that is neutral but not the usual all white. Loved the mixed media of both suede and leather. Usually wear a size 6, but not sure of this pair happened to run small, and had to rerun it. Have worn other color ways in size 6 without issue. Also very versatile and can wear with many different outfits!
ONLY ONE SHOE! Quality control is totally needed. I waited for these for my birthday to go on a hike with my family. I was so excited in wanting to get these. How and why does this happen, the box felt extra light also! Super disappointed! NB’s are awesome, would still recommend.
It would never occur to me to look at the tongue to see if it’s finished properly. This style has bare foam on the edges of the tongue. There’s no banding. Hope it lasts because that’s why I buy NB. The big toe area is a little narrow on the inside.Great looking style. Keepers. Thanks Anthro!!
