New Balance 475

The return of a legend from the archives - New Balance 475

The New Balance 475 is a fascinating throwback to the 1980s, when it was originally introduced as a performance running shoe. Today, the model returns in full force to take its place in the wardrobes of streetwear lovers and timeless design. It is the ideal choice for those who are looking for an alternative to mass-market models but do not want to compromise on quality and comfort.

Design and materials

At first glance, the 475 impresses with its layered construction, which is typical of the New Balance brand. The combination of premium brushed leather (suede) and breathable mesh ensures not only a luxurious look, but also durability and necessary ventilation. The silhouette is slightly slimmer than the chunky 990 series models, giving it a sleeker and more versatile character.

Technology and comfort

Although this is a retro model, the interior of the shoe meets modern standards:

• C-CAP midsole: provides excellent cushioning and support with every step, making them the perfect companion for all-day wear in the city.

• The rubber compound with a more pronounced tread harks back to the model's trail roots and ensures great traction on a variety of surfaces.

• Reflective elements.
