New Balance 204 U204LKTI Retro Runners | Breathable Design & Lightweight Comfort

The New Balance 204 series (Style Code: U204LKTI) revitalizes classic athletic aesthetics with a focus on modern comfort and versatility. Its retro-inspired silhouette features an engineered mesh upper for enhanced airflow, ensuring breathability during daily wear or light runs. Strategic synthetic overlays reinforce structural integrity, while the iconic “N” logo—rendered in tonal stitching—adds understated heritage branding. Designed for urban explorers, this model bridges vintage style and contemporary functionality.

Underfoot, a lightweight EVA midsole delivers responsive cushioning, absorbing impact during walking or jogging. The sculpted design mirrors New Balance’s archival running models, promoting a natural stride. Complementing this, the granular rubber outsole provides reliable traction on urban terrain while maintaining a low-profile, flexible feel that reduces foot fatigue. This combination makes the 204 ideal for all-day wear, from commutes to casual outings.

As part of New Balance’s lifestyle-focused “Sportstyle” collection, the 204 series merges orthopedic ergonomics with street-ready aesthetics. Perfect for those seeking timeless design without sacrificing support, it redefines everyday footwear as both a style statement and a comfort investment.
