The upper of the White Black Gum New Balance XC-72 combines recycled white mesh and tonal overlays in suede. A black N adorns the side panel, a crimson NB accents the white microfiber tongue, and XC-72 brands the white insole. The gum rubber outsole curves up the white EVA midsole and partially covers the mudguard. The outsole also sports a white stripe streaking between the two distinct traction patterns inspired by the XC15 and the 375.
The New Balance XC-72 White Black Gum was released on January 3, 2022, at a retail price of $100.
