New Balance XC-72 “Moonbeam” Releases January 20th

New Balance XC-72 “Moonbeam” Releases January 20th

Debuted with the help of Casablanca, the New Balance XC-72 has been relatively slow in assembling a healthy roster of colorways. Yet, its long-teased “Moonbeam” style is set to hit the Massachusetts-institution’s webstore on January 20th.

Inspired by sportscars, New Balance‘s sleek low-top silhouette features a much bolder aesthetic than the dad-associated sneakers for which the brand is known. A premium mix of suede, breathable mesh and rich leather make up the majority of the pair’s upper, with a ridge-laden heel clip appearing around the heel for structural support. And while the XC-72’s upper is eye-catching on its own, it’s unquestionably overshadowed by the “split” outsole underfoot that includes varying tread patterns borrowed from performance-running silhouettes from the 1970s and ’80s. Together, the off-white and black color palette creates an offering perfect for year-round wear, though the shoes will likely dominate the spring and summertime.

Enjoy official product shots of the pair here below, and try your luck via NewBalance.com on January 20th.
