New Balance 740 Shoe

740 Shoes bring retro running style into today’s everyday rotation

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The 740 is one of those shoes I didn’t realize I needed until I wore it. Super comfortable straight out of the box, solid support for long days on my feet, and they’ve got a look that’s somehow both classic and fresh. I’ve put some real miles on these and they just keep getting better."

Inspired by early 2000s runners, the 740 Shoe fuses retro tech and bold styling into a sneaker built for the modern grind. New Balance revives this fan-favorite silhouette with open-knit mesh for breathability, ABZORB midsole cushioning for everyday comfort, and a segmented outsole that keeps pace from morning errands to late-night hangs.

Every detail of the 740 nods to performance heritage while offering street-ready aesthetics. Angular overlays and two-tone color mesh elevate its visual game, while the molded TPU ‘N’ logo and reflective accents add classic New Balance flair. Whether it’s your first pair or a reunion with an old favorite, this daily driver is ready to run again—on your terms.

Great shoes minus the seam blister

These shoes are amazing, minus one thing: there’s a seam at the ankle that can be felt through the material and gives a nasty blister. Trying to work through it because the shoes are nice but definitely would second-guess buying a second pair.
