Matt Varga When we close the book on 2025, it feels like it’ll be harder than ever to crown a “best model of the year.” Every major player has chipped in multiple silhouettes that’ll deserve consideration, and the New Balance 204L is undoubtedly on the Boston brand’s “for your consideration” slip.
Of the looks we’ve seen so far, the bulk of the looks for NB’s slim-soled sneaker have tended towards delicate monochrome aesthetics, from the debut “Timberwolf” to an unreleased “Pastel Pack.” A growing series, including the New Balance 204L “Silver/Tan” at hand, shifts into a far-flung direction by comparison. Chrome overlays synonymous with “vintage runner” silhouettes like the 1906R here gives the trendy model a techier atmosphere, while pale orange touches land on the “N” branding and laces. It’ll be interesting to track consumer response to this “worlds collide” concept, but NB has proven their bonafides in this universe plenty of times before — we’re inclined to think they know what they’re doing.
The New Balance 204L “Silver/Tan” will likely hit shelves digital and physical before the year is out, holding onto its typical $130 retail price.
