New Balance 204L - 松露鹽 / 地平灰 / 銀金屬

The padded collar makes these feel way more comfortable than I expected for a synthetic shoe, and that double-stacked suede N logo gives them a nice premium touch. Already worn them three days straight, and they’re holding up perfectly on pavement and light trails.

I wasn’t sure about the synthetic upper at first, but it’s actually really breathable and keeps its shape well. The rubberized toe cap gives a nice sense of durability without looking bulky.

The rubberized toe cap gives these sneakers a sturdy, retro feel that I wasn't expecting from such a lightweight shoe. They're super comfortable right out of the box, and the padded collar makes a big difference for all-day wear.
