The cargo pocket that equips New Balance’s taupe-brown X-Racer trainers echoes the sportswear label’s experimental vision. They’re crafted from grained leather with ventilating mesh panels and a heel pull tab, then rest on a chunky ABZORB midsole that reduces impact during active pursuits.
A classic on the sportswear scene that started out selling arch supports to police officers and waiters in the early 1900s, New Balance has re-emerged as a fashion must-have in recent years and, with stylish collaborations from J.Crew to Stone Island, the iconic sneakers are going nowhere. See their much coveted styles in Cosmopolitan, InStyle and Vogue.
