New Balance is set to release an updated version of its classic 420 shoe, in vibrant suede/nylon colorways, this fall.

Originally designed to protect the feet of athletes in the '70s, the 420 incorporates a three layer outsole and technologically superior patented extended saddle. Today, the 420 remains a New Balance classic heritage silhouette, providing a low profile sneaker offering for both men and women alike.

Based in Boston, Mass., New Balance  continues its tradition of premium footwear.

Designed for both men and women, the shoe company prides itself in the finest construction and quality. Ranging from all-time classic favorites to reinvented modern silhouettes, each lifestyle shoe features innovative materials and technologies that keep the New Balance brand as relevant and sought after today as it was 100 years ago.

The New Balance 420 are priced at $60 and will be available at Zappos.com starting in August 2010 in five colorways: navy/yellow, yellow/blue, green/yellow, grey/red, and blue.
