Heel counters stabilize rearfoot motion during lateral transitions

Offering the perfect blend of modern comfort and nostalgic design, the New Balance 471 transforms '70s running heritage into a new, everyday go-to. Crafted with breathable mesh underlays alongside plush hairy suede overlays to achieve an effortlessly lived-in look, the 471 combines a sleek low profile with a wedge-shaped EVA midsole and herringbone outsole, while elevated leather accents on the signature "N" logos, collar, and heel round off the look alongside the classic Fang toebox overlay pattern inspired by the design of the original 320.
