New Balance Numeric just hit us with a fresh olive/black colorway of Franky Villani’s signature 417 model—and it looks like an instant classic, if you ask me.

Franky Villani’s first signature 417 made noise when it initially dropped—a classic vulcanized mid-top that was really well-received. But honestly, I’m fully backing this new low-cut version. It’s a clean update that still keeps the original vibe, but offers a more streamlined feel. And let’s be real—they just look dope.
