As New Balance continues to stun fans with its delectable color pairings, this time the brand introduces a Cream White version of its XC-72.

The XC-72 silhouette – which saw its debut release early last month – draws its unique design inspiration from the theme of retro futurism. Combining the distinctive features from the New Balance 327 and 237 models which are placed within the Shifted collection, the XC-72 silhouette is mildly reminiscent of 1970s car designs.

At first glance, the new, refined Cream White colorway is a minimal offering compared to those that have come before it. The pointed tread, chrome-free leather body and suede panels take on similar shades of cream, as the “N” emblem on the side goes for a lighter shade of white. Taking a closer look, smaller components of the sneaker receive a splash of color including the deep blue lacing, an aqua blue heel tab and a striking orange split in the toe box.

The New Balance XC-72 Cream White will drop in the Middle East on October 2. Take a closer look at the silhouette in the gallery above, modeled on trailblazing Emirati entertainer, DJ Bliss.
