New Balance has started their rollout of a new silhouette this season, the 204L. The model has a number of collabs in the works, but this week we have an early look at a new “Metallic” pack, dressing the shoe in two classic NB styles.
New Balance has been fairly quiet about their upcoming 204L model, an interesting new lifestyle model that blends their running heritage with the slim sneaker fashion of today. The look borrows elements from their iconic design language, mixing mesh base layers with synthetic and leather overlays, and extra cutouts for a very ’90s or ’00s performance running style. This is mounted on top of a razor thin midsole, a trend that has slowly been taking over the fashion world.
This week, we’ve had several looks at the 204L’s upcoming collaborative slate, including offerings from Kith and Auralee, and today we have a look at the shoe’s first standard-issue styles, coming this Summer. Currently being dubbed the “Metallic” pack, both styles here features a white mesh base with metallic silver overlays and some grey accents, with a color accent for the branding and mid layer panels. One pair features a pastel, pale green shade, while the second adds black for a totally neutral look.
NEW BALANCE 204L “METALLIC” PACK RELEASE INFORMATION
New Balance’s first batch of in-line styles for the new 204L model has not been officially announced yet, but pairs have already released overseas in China, so we expect a stateside drop in Summer 2025. Featuring two simple white and grey builds with either pale green or black accents, pairs will likely be available from both NB and select retailers for about $125.
