Our verdict

What we liked

Premium Suede The entire body is made of premium Suede Leather. The texture varies (hairy vs. smooth), giving it a rich look.
Classy Color The "Sea Salt" (Off-White) color looks incredibly classy and expensive.
Retro Vibe Inspired by 1980s basketball shoes, it has a perfect retro low-top silhouette.
Velvet Touch The inner lining feels like velvet, adding to the luxury feel.
Unique Detail The "N" logo is sharp on the inside but "puffy" on the outside—a cool design detail (don't think it's fake!).
Better than Nike New Balance is innovating with designs, unlike Nike which just changes colors on the same old models.

Could be better

Maintenance Since it's suede and light-colored, keeping it clean will be a task.
Thin Sole The sole is quite thin and low-to-the-ground, which some might not prefer.
