Old school vibes with a modern twist? The New Balance Allerdale 'White' brings exactly that to the streets. This latest addition to the Made in UK series gets a fresh, white colorway and mixes classic orthopedic inspo with high-end comfort. Perfect for those who dare, but also have an eye for detail.
A nod to the past, but completely contemporary
The Allerdale isn’t just a dad shoe – it’s a love letter to the past. Inspired by the old-school orthopedic kicks that started New Balance, this sneaker fuses retro aesthetics with forward-thinking technology. Think: Ned Flanders meets Tokyo streetwear.
The new 'White' colorway exudes luxury and minimalism. The upper is made entirely of tumbled leather, which not only makes it durable, but also gives it that high-end feel. And that D-ring lacing? It gives you instant mountain boot vibes, without having to go uphill.
Why You Should Rock This Allerdale Yourself
