The new balance updates a classic silhouette with an upper that is constructed with a mixture of leather, nubuck, and mesh. The midsole is constructed from lightweight and comfortable EVA foam. As a distinctive final touch, the "N" branding is engraved on both lateral sides of the upper, and an "NB" emblem is on the tongue. The shoe's black gum outsole offers grip and strength, while the tread provides stability.
