[New Balance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906l-3) introduces a new tonal iteration of the 237 shoe design that is adorned in [neutral tones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/204l-sneaker) spotlighted by beige and black. The lifestyle silhouette is designed with inspiration from heritage running footwear from past eras, specifically the 70s.

The upper is traditional due to this, made with white mesh materials overlaid with beige suede for a supple textile across the heel, the midfoot, and the mudguard. The blend of light colors are contrasted by the black N logo on the quarter side of the shoe in leather materials. Black accents also make up the heel tab and the exposed fabric tongue tag. The inner half is marked with the tagline "The Intelligent Choice."
