The New Balance U2010V1 Shoe is a casual lace-up sneaker with a mesh upper and nubuck and synthetic overlays. An ABZORB midsole sits underfoot. Sculpted details shape the midsole. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“Walking around the city all day, the midsole absorbed the impact of every step. Its cushioning resisted compression, so the ride felt the same from the first block to the last.”
