New Balances pushes its classic sources of inspiration even further into unexplored territory. With a time-bending design inspired by the speculative technological optimism of 1970s concept cars. Three distinctive traction outsole patterns and angular features are employed to give the familiar low-cut sleekness of the era’s running shoes an aggressive, experimental edge. The XC-72 is the future that the past dreamed about, come to life.

Even more beautiful in person than in the online pic and it was already very nice looking online. Sturdy show; only negative thing I can say is that the grip on the sole is a little slippery on tile or like floors, but on cement or carpet it's great.

The XC-72 provides great comfort and support for the entire foot. I wear these when I take long walks and do minor chores outside the house. My back feels no strain and my feet are not sore when I take them off.The back heel of the shoes have a wider outside than I had expected. No problem for me, however as I now see that they provide extra support. A great set of shoes.

These are really nice trainers, but they come up really small. I suggest you go up either half a size or one whole size.

The best deal I've seen anywhere for these shoes! After my first pair im addicted. I'm on pair number 3. If you have a wide foot go up a size. But they pretty much fit true to size.
Love these almost as much as my 2 pair 327s. Only complaint is the exposed rubber sole on one shoe has black speckles that look like mud splashed on it. After zooming in on a pair online I see speckles so I guess that's intentional. Not sure why both white soles don't match.In case anyone else hates all the podiatrist approved shoes, these and the 327s meet the requirements for a stability shoe. I'm hoping to buy 3-4 more pairs.
Lovely looking trainers, but really poor quality control, scuff in the suede material on the heel and lots of excess glue visible on the toe too. One of the pair is absolutely fine the other seems like it was never checked which is really disappointing when you are looking forward to a brand new pair of trainers. Only option is return for a refund. Replacements / Partial Refunds would make a lot more sense.
I have been an 'Adidashead' for over three decades. Candidly, it was the only brand I would wear. The XC-72 has made me a believer. Super comfortable and modern interpretations of stylings from a bygone sneaker era are exactly what I was looking for in a new pair of kicks. Check out the 327, too. Please keep innovating, New Balance. I'm super stoked on what you all are doing these days!
I’ve wanted these for a while now. Finally got them for a great price on Joe’s New Balance Outlet. I can wear these for the rest of my life tbh
I love this shoe, this is my 2nd one, I got my first XC-72 in the beginning of the year, I got the lunar year one and when I saw this gray I had to get it, it is so stylish, the gray is gorgeous and it's simply a very good looking pair of sneakers, the only thing is that they are warm, at least in my opinion, my feet felt hot in them but they are the perfect sneakers in comfort and style.Love, love , love them!!
Awesome shoes. I love the colorway. This is surprisingly one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have. The retro futuristic look is a head turner.
