Step into Spring with New Balance '471'
ABC Mart is set to unveil the much-anticipated low-profile sneaker, the New Balance '471', starting
April 9, 2026. This launch is paired with a vibrant spring campaign featuring
Nagisa Saito, an up-and-coming actress recognized for her versatility and style. In this campaign, Saito showcases the sneaker through four distinct outfits, highlighting its adaptability in various settings—from casual outings to more feminine looks.
Embrace Versatility with '471'
The theme of the campaign, ‘Yes, this is the one’, emphasizes the sneaker's reliable appeal. With each look, Nagisa Saito embodies the essence of the '471', proving that it can effortlessly integrate into any wardrobe. Whether paired with jeans, dresses, or casual wear, these sneakers make for a perfect companion, enhancing everyday outfits without compromising comfort or style.
The low-profile design draws inspiration from the retro running styles of the 1970s, specifically modeled after the New Balance ‘320’. The sleek silhouette retains a comfortable fit, allowing for ease of movement while embracing a vintage charm through the blend of suede and mesh in the upper part. The unique toe box design, along with the premium leather 'N' logo, adds a touch of sophistication to its casual look.
