Casablanca and New Balance Join on a Neutral XC-72 Sneaker
New Balance works in collaboration with Casablanca on a new iteration of the notable XC-72 sneaker model for the season. The duo continues to strengthen their ongoing partnership by launching a creamy tonal palette to the signature sneaker model.
The shoe has white perforated details across the leather base foundation across the upper and creamy chrome-free suede paneling as the overlaying accents. It is then marked with the 'N' logo on the lateral side of the shoe, following through to the heel cap. The tongue is made with a soft nylon foam and is detailed with golden yellow that peeps through to showcase the branding label. A bright emerald green rests right by the heel tab to round out the shoe.
