A new oiled leather colorway of the New Balance 1700 is now available at HUF. The 1700 is a great running and active shoe and one of the more technical models featuring cushioning plates in the midsole.
This is definitely a style we haven’t seen too much of from the NB camp featuring the oiled leather upper and dark grey accents. All in all, it looks like more of a casual shoe than performance, but with the same comfort and stability in most of the higher-end New Balance models.
Take a closer look after the jump and let us know what you think. It’s available now at HUF via phone orders. |

This shoe is so money you don’t even know it. I think ppl here hate on this because it doesn’t have neon or asphalt or glow elements or an ARTISTS’ name on. Kids I guess…..

I like ‘em AND know I could pull ‘em off…Too many of you knuckleheads out there probably couldn’t but claim to be “swaggerific” or whatever lame a** term you’ve come up with these days. *lol*

i admit that these are not the freshest of the NB catalogue but they still have an appeal. trust, if you rock these well with the right outfit you could pull it off. you dudes talk about “swagger” and being “fly”. pulling off looks like these without being cornballish is exactly that.
