New Balance Refine the 520 With Tonal Sophistication
A mighty fine design born on the Emerald Isle, the recently revived blends late-70s sports performance with a suave lifestyle aesthetic. Rising far beyond its athletic roots, the latest 520 release sees the model push towards sophisticated simplicity, emerging in a duo of earthy tonal colourways.
The first colourway wears a chocolatey nubuck upper complemented by matching laces and a subdued off-white sole unit. The second takes a lighter approach with supple sandy nubuck atop the same off-white tooling.
