It’s amazing how the brand can come up with bland sneakers at ne time and then come up wt stellar-looking kicks the next. This was the first thing that came to mind when we saw the Urban Research iD x New Balance 1700 LE sneaker, which looks like another feather in the cap of this sneaker brand.

The Urban Research iD x New Balance 1700 LE sneaker shows how a collaboration with Japan’s Urban Research iD can add some sizzle into NB’s old sneakers. The sneaker comes in a black suede upper with matching black inner lining, tongue and shoe laces.

The sneaker has a white midsole and a grey outsole. Accent comes in the form of the turquoise on the midsole’s toe part and on the tongue tag. The heel sports the traditional New Balance logo in black and grey, which, like most New Balance logos, glows even when it’s not dark.

The Urban Research iD x New Balance 1700 LE sneaker is a special edition sneaker that will fit the bill if you need a sneaker that requires low maintenance.
