Our take on the New Balance 740 - Slate Grey/Grey Matter

The New Balance 740 is a retro-inspired lifestyle sneaker with an open mesh upper and synthetic overlays. Its ABZORB foam midsole absorbs impact, and reflective accents plus a molded TPU 'N' logo give it a late-2000s running look. It suits everyday wear and casual outfits more than serious training. Against modern lifestyle rivals it is softer and more cushioned underfoot but heavier and less sleek; owners of the 740 line praise the comfort and retro styling.
