New Balance’s XC-72 is undoubtedly one of the weirdest sneakers you’ll ever see. There’s not much out there that looks quite like it.

The retro-futuristic look and style of this sneaker is what its designer, Charlotte Lee, has become a master of. She’s put together 3 different silhouettes using this concept so far and they’ve all been excellent.
But the XC-72 is the best yet. On this week’s episode of Special Delivery, Sykes and crew explain why.
