It’s no secret that New Balance has positioned itself as one of the most-exciting brands in regards to collaborations over the last two years. Yet, the century-old company hasn’t completely surrendered to high-profile partnerships and strategic joint-efforts, it’s still doing the bulk of the work on its own.
Recently, the “dad shoe” connoisseurs unveiled the New Balance RC30, a low-top, suede-heavy proposition rooted in what seems to be performance-running heritage. Donald Glover will help introduce the latest lifestyle sneaker from the Massachusetts-headquartered company, but the RC30 is also set to drop in a series of general colorways. First up?: A “Red” and “White”-colored pair donning light gum brown outsoles. Although the pair’s design influence hasn’t been revealed, it shares resemblance to the XC-72, the “race car for your feet” that Casablanca helped unveil. Textile base layers are overlaid with hairy suede panels t the toe, along the tongue and across the heel, with profile “N” logos opting for a leather construction. The widely-serrated tread underfoot harkens back to a different time in New Balance history, as have other lifestyle propositions from he brand since 2020. Together, the aforementioned components offer a design rooted in heritage that still feels fresh enough to fit right in the modern era’s footwear landscape.
