The Men’s New Balance XC-72 ‘Black Multi’ applies a bold color palette to a vintage-inspired sneaker. The upper consists of a black suede base with contrasting suede overlays in purple, dark teal and grey. An oversized “N” logo is built with tumbled grey leather, while mesh inserts at the heel and toe box are rendered in pale blue and vivid orange. The sneaker sits atop a rubber outsole that pairs traction patterns from the XC15 and 375, as well as a gum rubber heel clip that channels the modified herringbone pattern of the 620.
