Our Reading

The look feels familiar.

The 204L’s design echoes the chunky sole trend of the late 90s and early 2000s. New Balance has revisited this style in recent years with other collaborations. The use of suede and mesh materials adds a nostalgic touch. The shoe’s wider release comes as the “dad shoe” trend continues to evolve. The Auralee x New Balance 204L enters the cycle of revived 90s fashion staples.
