New Balance’s simple and classic footwear have made them an excellent collaborative partner for a huge variety of brands. This month, French fashion label Sézane is releasing their debut project from the Boston brand, featuring the new 471 runner.

The New Balance 471 is a modern lifestyle sneaker rooted in 1970s running heritage. Drawing inspiration from classics like the NB 320, it blends nostalgic details with contemporary construction. The upper pairs hairy suede overlays with woven mesh, accented by the signature “fang” toe overlay for a distinct retro vibe. A wedge EVA midsole provides lightweight comfort, while the herringbone outsole ensures traction for daily wear. Sleek yet understated, the 471 stands out with its slender profile and versatile style, quickly positioning itself as a fresh staple in the New Balance lineup.

The first collaboration for New Balance fresh 471 is set to arrive this month, and sees the footwear giant teaming up with Sézane for the first time. The label is a Parisian brand founded in 2013, with a focus on timeless style, thoughtful production, and eco-friendly materials. Their take on the 471 brings some vintage styling to the silhouette, through a unique mix of materials and colors. The look starts with a woven base layer in a hemp off-white tone, layered with dark brown suede overlays. The N logos are applied in a dark navy denim with unfinished edges, while just a flash of red around the heels completes the look.
