New Balance GS 204L Lace - Black

The padded collar keeps my daughter's ankles comfortable all day at school, and the multi-piece overlays on the synthetic upper give these a nice, durable look.

My son’s been wearing these for a month of recess and gym, and the reinforced eyelets haven’t frayed a bit—the laces stay put even with his constant yanking. The double-stacked 'N' logos on the sides have held up through washes too, so they still look sharp.

The padded collar on these sneakers makes them incredibly comfortable for my kid to wear all day at school. The synthetic upper seems durable enough to handle playground wear and tear.
