The New Balance XC-72 White Black Gum is a lifestyle runner with a retro look in a subtle colorway. The upper combines recycled white mesh and tonal overlays in suede, featuring a black 'N' logo on the side panel and a crimson NB accent on the white microfiber tongue. XC-72 branding appears on the white insole. The gum rubber outsole curves up the white EVA midsole and partially covers the mudguard, showcasing a white stripe streaking between distinct traction patterns inspired by the XC15 and 375. Released on January 3, 2022, at a retail price of $100, this retro-inspired sneaker offers a simplistic two-tone color scheme with lightweight construction.
