Okay, so these New Balance 471s are proper cool. They’ve got that classic vintage vibe going on but feel totally fresh at the same time. You’ve got breathable mesh mixed with some lush, hairy suede overlays and those iconic leather ‘N’ logos, which just gives them a really nice bit of texture. They're super comfy too, thanks to the lightweight EVA foam cushioning, so you can wear them all day without your feet giving up on you. Plus, that classic herringbone outsole nods to their athletic roots. And honestly, the exposed foam tongue? It just gives them a bit of an undone, authentic feel that I’m completely obsessed with.
