Low-profile and thin-sole sneakers have become a major hit in fashion circles; look at the variety of balletcore-inspired sneakers from adidas. Other brands have taken notice of this trend and are beginning to introduce and reintroduce models that fit this description. For New Balance, they’re entering the scene with the all-new New Balance 204L.
While images of multiple colorways of the sneaker have surfaced online, the pair pictured here is in collaboration with California-based streetwear brand Basketcase. The upper takes cues from NB’s retro runner heritage, as multiple suede panels are layered across it. Of course, this pair pays homage to its signature greyscale aesthetic, synonymous with New Balance.
