The new XC-72 further pushes its sources of inspiration into uncharted territory, with a design inspired by the speculative technological optimism of 1970s concept cars. Three unique traction patterns have been employed on the sole and features angular to give the familiar low cut of running shoes an aggressive and experimental style. The XC-72 is the future that was dreamed of in the past, come true.

CARE

HOW CAN I CLEAN MY SNEAKERS?

• The recommended cleaning method for New Balance shoes is to use a soft bristle brush (an old toothbrush) and a light detergent (dishwasher or laundry). Scrub the shoes with the brush and use a damp cloth to clean. Let the shoes air dry for about twenty-four hours. If you buy a cleaning product, make sure it is silicone-based to prevent any possible damage to the shoe. It is NOT recommended to wash the shoes in the washing machine. **If the shoes are made of suede or leather, you must use a cleaning product for suede or leather. Follow the instructions for the brand of cleaning product you are going to use to clean your shoes.
