Introducing the New Balance 471
The New Balance 471, released in the 1990s, was created as a versatile trail running shoe that prioritised durability and comfort for off-road use.
Featuring a rugged outsole designed for reliable traction on varied terrain, it gave runners confidence on trails while remaining light enough for everyday training. The upper typically combined breathable mesh with durable suede or synthetic overlays, providing a balance of ventilation and support. With cushioning technologies such as C-CAP midsoles, the 471 offered dependable shock absorption, making it suitable for both performance and casual wear.
While it may not have achieved the fame of some of New Balance’s flagship models, the 471 exemplifies the brand’s commitment during the era to combining technical function with long-lasting comfort.
