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