The “Black/Grey” offers a sleek, monochromatic look with a black nubuck and suede upper contrasted by grey accents, while the “Grey/Purple-Black” provides a bolder, more dynamic feel. The latter features a grey suede base with muted green hits and pops of purple on the branding and heel. Both versions are built for skate utility, with double-layer reinforcement on the toe cap and a supportive heel frame for added durability and protection.The new 770 is a perfect example of how New Balance Numeric is approaching skate footwear with a more “intelligent” design philosophy. It takes a classic, long-retired silhouette and infuses it with skate-ready tech, all while maintaining the brand’s signature aesthetic.
