A sleek fusion of retro runner aesthetics and futuristic shine, the New Balance 204L “Silver Metallic Still Water” pairs shimmering overlays with aquatic blue accents—balancing flash with refined heritage design.

Design & Materials

The New Balance 204L “Silver Metallic Still Water” combines breathable white mesh with reflective silver metallic overlays and synthetic reinforcements. Hits of Still Water blue highlight the “N” logo, heel tab, and lace loops, adding cool contrast to the neutral base. Cream laces, a sculpted retro runner sole unit, and a black outsole with blue traction pods complete the design. Its arced overlays nod to 2000s running DNA while keeping the profile slim and modern.

Comfort & Performance

Engineered for everyday wear, the 204L brings together lightweight mesh for ventilation, durable synthetic overlays for structure, and a cushioned foam midsole for comfort. The rubber outsole ensures traction on city surfaces, while the streamlined runner build makes it easy to wear all day without fatigue.
