The New Balance 471 (U471KAC) is a retro-inspired lifestyle sneaker that takes design cues from New Balance’s 1970s running heritage. With its low-profile shape, breathable mesh upper, suede overlays, and classic herringbone outsole, it is designed primarily for everyday casual wear, rather than modern running. New Balance lists the colourway as Angora with Garter Snake.
