Our take on the New Balance 740 Nb Casual Lifestyle Shoes

The New Balance 740 is a retro-styled lifestyle sneaker that revives a 2000s running silhouette with a mesh and textile upper, reflective accents and a layered foam midsole. It sits between the brand's chunky 530 and the more technical 1906 in bulk, with a softer, more casual feel than either. The mix of Phylon, EVA and polyurethane foam gives it a cushioned, slightly springy ride that suits all-day walking more than running. Reviewers tend to like the Y2K look and the value against premium retro runners, though some find the fit narrow and the mesh upper less structured than leather alternatives.
