The New Balance XC-72 is the brand’s most contemporary and progressive offering within the Shifted collection, which also includes the retro-inspired 327 and 237 styles. Shifting from the traditional divisions of gender and designed through progressive style, the New Balance XC-72 is a unisex model with a tri-textured CR and outsole that offers a modern interpretation of the brand’s retro-runner silhouettes.
The XC-72 blends high quality materials and modern trends with nostalgia-inducing details such as a squared toe inspired by 1970s concept car designs. Additionally, the style uses chrome-free leather and suede, which utilizes better chemistry as a part of the brand’s larger commitment to sustainability.
