New Balance Enlists AURALEE to Reimagine its 204L Silhouette
New Balance and AURALEE continue their collaborative journey into Summer ‘26 with the 204L, a low-profile runner released by the Bostonian label in the 2000s.
Inspired by the build and colour-blocking of running shoes from the 1970s and 2000s, two vastly different eras of shoemaking that find solace in the other, the 204L features updated materiality and colour to reflect this. The upper is wrapped in a swathe of premium suedes and technical meshes, with leather adorning the N logo on respective sidewalls, toeboxes, heel cups, and eyestays. AURALEE branding is largely absent, aside from a printed footbed, and retro-style lacing completes the setup. The 204L arrives in two colourways: White Lime and Dark Brown.
