New Balance 471: Steeped in Heritage

Steeped in heritage

New Balance is back with a fresh silhouette that’s sure to turn heads. Meet the 471 — a modern take on vintage design that blends throwback vibes with today’s streetwear sensibility.

 

 

Inspired by the Archives, Built for Now

 

The 471 draws from the golden era of ’70s running, reinterpreting elements from iconic New Balance models that helped shape performance footwear history.

 

It’s a thoughtful mix of heritage and modern flair — perfect for sneaker fans who want something classic but current.

 

With its low-profile look and refined design details, the 471 is more than just a nod to the past — it’s designed to be a versatile everyday staple that can elevate any outfit.

 

Style and Comfort in Every Step

 

The 471 brings together premium materials and smart construction:

 

Breathable mesh underlays keep things light and airy

 

Hairy suede overlays add texture and a retro finish

 

Exposed foam tongue gives an authentic ‘unfinished’ aesthetic

 

EVA midsole offers cushioned comfort all day long

 

Leather ‘N’ logos and heel accents deliver subtle luxury

 

Classic herringbone outsole ensures grip and durability

 

The “fang” toebox pattern adds a unique, heritage-inspired touch from the original NB 320

 

The New Balance 471 will launch in-stores only on April 23rd, 2025. Peep the stores below to secure your pair in person!
