References: newbalance & streething
Sometimes, looks are just as important as performance, so for those people hoping to catch someone's eye while running, the New Balance ML71 will definitely do the trick.
The New Balance ML71 is part of the brand's Minimus range, which focuses on high-performance element designs in an athletic shoe. The models are specifically built for those who prefer a minimal heel drop, which enables runners to feel as if they're running barefoot. The design of this model takes on the vibrant red, yellow and green Rastafarian color combination which surprisingly, isn't too overbearing. The combined mesh and suede upper brings a nice design contrast to the shoe, giving it a much more casual look.
It will be interesting to see how the ML71s match up to the likes of the Nike Free+ models.
