Inspired by the spectacular technical look of concept car design, New Balance's new XC-72 model reinterprets design classics from the 1970s as a no-holds-barred contemporary statement. Three signature traction outsole planes and edgy features are used to add an aggressive, experimental edge to the familiar low-cut elegance of this era's running shoes. The XC-72 is the future come to life that the past dreamed of.
