New Balance and size? are Linking for a Picnic Print 204L Collab

The New Balance 204L is a silhouette built to bridge the gap. The shoe fits perfectly between New Balance’s dad shoe legacy and the current low-profile shoe trend, and has combined a run of serious fashion industry collabs with a strong run of in-line colorways. For its latest 204L colorway, New Balance is teaming up with another boutique retailer, following up its atmos partnership with a trip to the UK.

Sizing Up the New Balance 204L

The size? x New Balance 204L is the latest collaborative colorway previewed from the UK’s most recognizable sneaker store chain. Following a serious series of collabs and exclusive releases from adidas, the 204L is the first size? x New Balance collab since last fall’s waterproof 1906D pack.

So far, we’ve only seen the 204L in one preview image posted by size? to Instagram, but from what we can see, the pair mixes two shades of hairy and smooth brown suede across the structural panels, with green picnic table checkerboard print on the toebox and side panels. Lastly, two pairs of laces, one brown and the other pink with stripes, are both laced onto the same shoe.

size? x New Balance 204L Release Details

The size? x New Balance 204L will be released August 26, 2026 through size? in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is still TBD. To stay up on all the latest exclusive New Balance news, make sure to download the Sole Retriever App.
