New Balance Numeric 272 "Black" UN272BRL

The New Balance Numeric 272 Black keeps things simple for skaters who care about feel first. This is a classic skate shoe with a stripped-back look, made for daily sessions and easy wear off the board.

The thin insole sits close to the deck. You feel every movement. Every flick. That direct board feel is why so many skaters rate the 272 as a go-to. The vulcanised sole adds flexibility without feeling flimsy, giving you solid grip and predictable control.

Materials matter here. The upper blends durable suede with breathable canvas and mesh. It’s tough where you need it. Light where it counts. The all-black colourway keeps it versatile, whether you’re skating street spots or heading out after a session. Subtle New Balance Numeric branding nods to skate heritage without shouting.

This pair also uses cow leather, adding structure and longevity to high-wear areas. Expect a shoe that breaks in fast and holds up longer than most minimalist skate silhouettes.

If you’re after a dependable black skate shoe with heritage vibes and modern performance, the New Balance Numeric 272 Black fits the brief. Clean lines. Strong grip. Serious board feel.
