TLDR: The New Balance 471 will be released on 22 May 2025 for €100 as part of the ‘Grey Days’ series. With its silhouette from the 70s, crinkle nylon, suede and an eye-catching catch overlay, it combines nostalgic running elements with modern everyday vibes. As always, you can find all the release info on Grailify! With the 471, New Balance is bringing an archive model from the 1970s running era back onto the streets - reinterpreted as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear. The silhouette remains flat and dynamic, while the iconic catch overlay on the toebox makes the sneaker instantly recognisable. The visible foam tongue with its ‘unfinished’ look is also typical of the aesthetic of the time and exudes a pure retro feel.
New Balance uses a combination of crinkle nylon and soft suede overlays for the upper. This ensures a structured feel and gives the shoe a deliberately ‘registered’ vintage look. Cracked leather N logos, leather accents on the collar and heel and a classic herringbone outsole for the necessary grip complete the design. The wedge-shaped EVA midsole rounds off the feel with light cushioning, making the 471 not only visually appealing but also functional.
