Introduced in 2016, the New Balance 247 sneaker blends heritage design with modern technology. The 247v2 Wide Kids 'Black' version pulls inspiration from the adult-sized sneaker and repackages it for wide kids’ feet. Breathable mesh covers the upper and is reinforced by a midfoot lacing system at the synthetic quarter panel. The bottom half of the shoe cushions and supports growing feet with an injection-molded EVA foam midsole atop a durable rubber outsole.
