New Balance Men's Numeric 272 Skate Shoe

New Balance Men's Numeric 272 Skate Shoe

The 272 is New Balance Numeric's no-nonsense vulc. Suede and canvas upper, a one-piece reinforced toe and an Ortholite sockliner, so it flicks easy and doesn't feel thin.

Why We Carry It

Vulcs are what a lot of us actually skate. The 272 breaks in fast, has real board feel, and costs less than most pro models.

Highlights

• Upper: Suede and canvas with a reinforced one-piece toe.
• Construction: Vulcanized for board feel and flick.
• Insole: Ortholite sockliner.
• Heel: Rubber heel stabilizer for a little extra support.
• Details: Leather N logos, woven NB# 272 tongue label, reflective hits.

Best For

Street and park skaters who like a thin, grippy vulc, plus the summer crew cruising Main Street after work.
