Matt Varga “When they go old, we go older.” That about sums up the strategy behind the New Balance Allerdale, the Boston brand having seen its foremost “dad shoes” replicated across the industry and deciding to traverse even further back for a bonafide walking shoe. Crafted with plush Flimby leathers for its first two editions, as the shoe’s legacy continues, it’s swapping into brown suede for a colorway that’s already trickled out to some retailers.
In the broadest strokes, it’s simply a material swap from the original brown leather pair, maintaining the black contrast sole to offset the richer tones up top. However, a tan leather interior adds some additional earthy flair on this edition, doubling down on the refined atmosphere that the premium pigskin suede tangibly delivers. Though the compositional quality of these has been the enduring narrative coming out of early reviews, the hiking-inspired cup-sole and Ortholite insole ensures hardened adaptability to wherever these “walking shoes” take you to.
Select sizes of the New Balance Allerdale “Brown Suede” remain via retailers like Extra Butter, carrying its standard $250 retail price. A wider New Balance launch will assuredly follow soon, but a concrete date for that hasn’t yet emerged. Check for your pair using our “Where To Buy” links included below, or simply enjoy an advance look at this upcoming colorway with the detailed shots further down.
