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.

Poor Quality - didn’t last me 4 months
Bought these to be a daily walking shoe. 4 months in and the bottom sole is falling off of the shoe, these are almost ready for the trash. Really disappointed in the poor quality because they were comfortable and I was really hoping to to get more out of these shoes

Mid-Long socks only!
Comfortable shoes and so fashionable. The reason I have 4 stars is because there is no way you can wear ankle socks with these. My bf and I both have these shoes and they cut the back of our ankles. Be sure to wear long socks and you should be good!

Great fit for casual and work-ware style
I recommend for those who want to combine both work-ware and casual style. The insole doesn’t provide a super soft feeling but being compact and absorbing your weight while prolonged standing or walking. I’ve not got fatigued in my feet after working done. Great outstanding style with all black and midnight-gray curves and lines decoration.
