Barely introduced in New Balance's catalog, the 204L is already evolving. Showcased at the latest Paris Fashion Week, the silhouette now comes in a new version: the New Balance 204V. This interpretation ditches the laces for a slip-on construction, while keeping the proportions and DNA of the original model.
While the proportions of the 204L remain intact, the slip-on replaces the traditional lacing system with an elastic opening that enhances its minimalist approach. The silhouette still retains its running-inspired aesthetic, complemented by reflective 3M details and a bold “N” logo.

For its launch, the Boston brand reveals two colorways with contrasting accents. The first combines a bright blue mesh base with black suede overlays, while the second opts for an all-black construction highlighted by orange touches. The result? Two executions that showcase the technical lines of the model without altering its architecture. The New Balance 204V is set to hit the shelves soon.
