Castlerock (black, green, purple) colorway New Balance sneakers. Worn twice around the house—kept thinking they fit but just weren’t quite right. TTS with thick socks or great for a size 12.5 with normal socks. The new XC-72 pushes its classic sources of inspiration even further into unexplored territory, with a time-bending design inspired by the speculative technological optimism of 1970s concept cars. Three distinctive traction outsole patterns and angular features are employed to give the familiar low-cut sleekness of the era’s running shoes an aggressive, experimental edge. The XC-72 is the future that the past dreamed about, come to life.
