Fresh off debuting the New Balance 90/60, the New England-based institution has quickly turned to debuting yet another silhouette that blends old and new: the RC30.
Introduced to the masses with the help of Donald Glover, the silhouette harkens back to the 1970s, an era during which the footwear stalwarts largely focused on the performance running segment. As with the multi-hyphenate that’s gotten first-dibs at a collaboration, the New Balance RC30 veers on the understated side. Nylon bases are reinforced by suede overlays around the toe, tongue and heel, with profile “N” logos opting for a leather arrangement. Muted olive greens, simple whites and drab greys plant the shoe in a certain “smart echelon,” while bolder blues give New Balance‘s latest offering a dose of fun.
Enjoy product shots of an early batch of RC30 styles ahead, as you wait for official NewBalance.com launch details.
