Kate Middleton wears New Balance sneakers while training for the London Marathon | New Balance Freshly Delivers A Tokyo XC-72

First introduced as a collaborative style with Casablanca, the New Balance XC-72 is a contemporary, busier take on a retro runner. NB continues to develop its roster of inline XC-72s with a new Tokyo colorway that reflects the space-age look of the silhouette.

The new arrangement consists of a metallic silver leather base that is complemented by suede overlays and lacestays in various greys. While an oversized black “N” logo decorates the lateral side, the medial side sees the branding in grey suede instead. The tongue and heel overlay introduce a cream shade to disrupt the Tokyo color palette—but a sleek look is still maintained. As for the sole unit, a unique “split” look is achieved with the use of two different traction patterns in either black or grey. A white mesh eng down the tongue along with the strip of white rubber underfoot emphasizes the split approach to round out the futuristic design.
