Retro meets nouveau.

Looks a good deal like the New Balance 373 retro style with a Vibram sole from the NB 20 Minimus Trail. It’s called the 71.

Shown here in classic Grey suede and a more upscale looking Brown leather, the 71 is the only answer to the question, “Where can I get a Minimus shoe without all that newfangled styling?”

Well, strawman, it appears the 71 is your footwear manna.

Looks like these may be an Asia-only drop. More info as it becomes available.
