Introducing the New Balance 420
The New Balance 420 first appeared in the late 1970s as a lightweight running shoe created to balance performance with everyday comfort.
Its streamlined silhouette, crafted from suede and nylon mesh, prioritised breathability, flexibility, and durability, making it a go-to choice for both athletes and casual wearers. Equipped with New Balance’s trusted midsole cushioning, it delivered reliable support and shock absorption, showcasing the brand’s commitment to functional innovation.
Over time, the 420 transitioned from a practical runner into a lifestyle staple, admired for its retro-inspired design, clean lines, and versatile style.
