The NEW BALANCE 247 LUXE is a brand new premium lifestyle silhouette from the Boston-based brand that ups the ante in terms of materials and craftsmanship. The new silhouette isn’t dropping until January 7 but The Drop Date has been able to take an early look…

The 247 Luxe was designed with the modern urban lifestyle in mind, specifically the 24/7 culture in which we now all live. How does this translate into looks? The uppers are constructed with a combination of full-grain leather with a large, asymmetrical perforated toebox, combined with a stretch synthetic nubuck sock. Three stylishly formal colourways will be available at launch: all black with a tan heel, all white – also with a tan heel – and all tan with a black heel. As the name suggests, we can see these shoes taking care of all your footwear needs during a typical day, ticking all the boxes whether you need them for casual day-to-day wear or for more formal occasions. While the new silhouette is modern in its inspiration, the creative team at New Balance looked to the past during the design process. They have taken many of the best parts from the brand’s most popular heritage models to fashion something quite new. You might recognize the asymmetrical detail on the toe vamp is from the 1300; and the collar strap design is taken from the 574 and 576; while the 998 midsole is represented albeit in a sleeker more lightweight form. Maintaining the stylish and formal vibe, the ‘N’ branding is tonal and embossed in the leather, as opposed to the usual 3M accented stitched-on logo.

To celebrate the launch of the new silhouette, New Balance will hold special events in seven cities that embody the urban, 24/7 lifestyle – New York City, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul – to coincide with the NEW BALANCE 247 LUXE drop date, SATURDAY 7 JANUARY.
