New Balance is extremely cautious when it comes to retroing their archival sneakers. This week, they’ve unveiled a new revival, meaning they know they have a hit on their hands. Check out the Numeric 770, coming soon.
The last great retro release we saw from New Balance was the 550, a basketball shoe from the mid ’80s that took over the sneaker market in 2020. Now, another cult classic model has surfaced on the brand’s release calendar, standing on its own without an Aimé Leon Dore collaboration to draw up hype around it. Originally released in the ’90s as the CXT770, the silhouette was designed to be a performance cross-trainer. Now, the Numeric team has revised the shoe to better fit the world of skateboarding.
The Numeric team has not fully detailed what their version of the New Balance 770 does differently than the original. However, the few details on the brand’s website tell us that the shoe sports a cup sole for better grip on a board, plastic wing pieces to protect the upper from wear & tear, “Improved insert compound for underfoot comfort”, and FuelCell foam for cushioning. The 770 will also launch in two colorways, one in black & grey with gum outsole accents, and the other in a unique mix of dark grey, olive green, and a royal purple shade.
