Sitting pretty in pink, this version of New Balance’s archival MLC100 couldn’t look further from the performance runner it debuted as back in the ‘70s. But that doesn’t detract from its appeal at all. It retains all the credentials that athletes love, namely the lightweight nylon-based uppers and EVA foam sole, and packages it in a street friendly colourway. There’s not much to complain about, really.
