The New Balance 204L “Mushroom” blends vintage runner style with modern comfort and soft, neutral tones. This retro-inspired lifestyle shoe is set to release on July 30th.

Dressed in layered beige and taupe suede, the upper features a premium mix of hairy and smooth textures. Flowing panels and dynamic overlays highlight its archival running roots. The bold embroidered “N” logo, outlined in white, offers a standout detail on the lateral sides.

Cream-colored laces and breathable mesh at the collar bring comfort and contrast. Inside, plush padding supports everyday wear. Branding on the insole reinforces New Balance’s heritage focus.

Below, a sculpted midsole adds soft cushioning, while the dark olive-green outsole provides grip and traction. Raised tread pods and curved lines add a unique design and function. “204L” appears subtly on the heel, connecting to the brand’s classic catalog.

The New Balance 204L “Mushroom” drops July 30th, 2025, at NewBalance.com and select retailers.

This sneaker is versatile and clean, ideal for casual fits or tonal layering. Its earthy design and retro build will appeal to fans of timeless, neutral sneakers. Mark your calendars and step into style this summer.
