Landing last September, New Balance’s 204L has been all over our feeds.
It’s been spotted everywhere. Coffee shops to studio classes, it’s the low-pro you didn’t know you needed.
And that’s why Skye Newman’s got them in her rotation. But these ones are a little different.

‘70s structure. Exclusive shades.
If you hadn’t guessed by now, we’ve added our JD take on New Balance’s ultra-sleek runner.
In a low-profile silhouette, the 204L still packs all the hallmark features of any New Balance into one elevated style.
Neutral tones, tech-inspired layers, a touch of suede, signature New Balance branding. They just work with every outfit.
Who best to give us some style inspo than Skye Newman? The South East London born singer-songwriter has been making waves since her debut single ‘Hairdresser’ dropped in March ’25. She’s gone from strength to strength ever since but setting her aside is her fashion.
There’s always room in the wardrobe for a classic tracksuit. But with a pair of shorts and a lightweight mac? We’re obsessed. Skye’s adding NB crew-length socks to her 204L’s to keep the retro track vibe going.
Stepping out the studio. Stepping into spring. Which pair are you picking: brown, grey or burgundy?
And it’s not just exclusives that have arrived. Mushroom & Arid Stone and Timberwolf & Linen are in, both with double lace designs. The trend that isn’t slowing down.
