New Balance 204L Sneakers - Taupe Brown with Cream Accents

New Balance 204L — Taupe Brown and Cream

A slim, low-cut profile and layered taupe-brown upper give these New Balance 204L sneakers an understated retro athletic look. Curving overlays frame the side N logos, while cream laces and pale collar lining provide a light contrast against the earthy upper and dark sole.
