New Balance often takes cues from retro sneaker styles - and MDRFTRT1 XC-72s are designed in a sleek, 70’s-inspired design. The uppers are Men from cream-coloured textile with Tenacity suede overlays, then fitted with a split sole with chunky lugs for a bold touch. To finish, they’re complete with oversized grey ‘N’ branding stitched on the sidewalls.
