Pebax derived midsole material rebounds faster than standard foams

Originally released in the 1980s, the New Balance 475 continued a tradition of aggressive trail shoes for the American footwear manufacturer. Most famously headed by the iconic 'Trail Buster' this range gave us other fantastic models like the 575 and 576all equipped for off-road exploration.

Back for another shot at the crown, the New Balance 475 has all the hallmarks of a vintage trail sneaker. From the tight nylon mesh and durable suede overlays, to the C-CAP cushioned midsole and aggressively lugged rubber outsolethe 475 is dripping with '80s outdoor tech.

In an era of synthetic fused panels and maximalist midsoles, the simple-yet-aggressive lines of the 475 make us wonder if there wasn't something more appealing to this era of footwear.
