Inspired by ’70s running heritage, the new balance 471 athletic shoe reworks classic design cues into an easy, everyday go-to. A sleek low-profile silhouette pairs with a wedge-shaped eva midsole and herringbone outsole for a familiar retro foundation, while elevated materials steal the spotlight. Breathable mesh uppers team up with hairy suede overlays for an effortlessly worn-in look, and the signature new balance “fang” detail at the toe box adds a distinctive finish that sets the 471 apart.
