New Balance 725 Black Silver

New Balance 725 Black Silver revives the best known colour pairing of nineties athletic footwear. Black with silver meant speed and technology then, and today it means nostalgia, and the difference between those meanings changes nothing about the appeal of the combination itself.

New Balance 725 Black against the pale shades

Pale shades display the structure of the model and its straight lines clearly, while black hides them and leaves the silver panels alone to define the shape. The result is that black looks simpler from a distance and more detailed up close, the exact reverse of what happens with pale shades.

The material up close

During inspection we noticed the silver panels here are matte rather than glossy, which separates them from the metallic silver on newer models. Matte silver sits closer to metallic grey and does not reflect strongly, which makes it easier to style and less prone to showing scratches.

Fit and comfort

The last sits between slim and wide and suits most feet. To settle sizing before ordering, our WhatsApp concierge takes your foot length in centimetres and names the number directly.

Looks that suit black and silver

It works with dark denim, black, grey and sportswear. For a slimmer base there is New Balance 530, for a bulkier base New Balance 9060, and for a technical character New Balance 1906.
