The 740v2 is one of the newer New Balance models in our range, and it is made for people who like their sneakers sporty and a little bold. Think layered mesh, shiny overlays and colour combinations that look straight out of the early 2000s.

What is the New Balance 740v2?

The 740v2 is the second version of the New Balance 740, a running shoe from the brand's archive. Where the first 740 has a classic retro runner shape, the v2 is based on a later version of that shoe and has its own layout of overlays and a more technical, Y2K inspired look. New Balance brought it back as a lifestyle sneaker at a time when everyone was looking for running shoes with that early 2000s feel.

If you like the original but want something with more colour and detail, the v2 is a natural choice. Want to compare both versions side by side? Our New Balance 740 collection shows the original and the v2 together.

Design and comfort of the 740v2

The upper of the 740v2 combines breathable mesh with layered synthetic overlays that wrap around the toe, the sides and the heel. Metallic and contrasting details make the shoe look busy in a good way, typical of running shoes from that era. The midsole is cushioned and has a slightly chunky profile, but the shoe still feels light on your foot.

Inside, the padded collar and tongue keep you comfortable, and the sole gives you a soft, stable step. That makes the 740v2 a pair you can wear all day, from the city to the office and on trips.

New Balance 740v2 for women and men

The 740v2 is a unisex sneaker with a wide size range. Many women go for Pink Granite, Pink Granite Mineral or Blue Agate White, while men often choose Silver Red, Monarch Wine or Concord Grape. In the end it is your own style that decides. We always show the EU size on the product page, so you simply order the size you normally wear.

How does the New Balance 740v2 fit?

As general advice, most people take their usual sneaker size in the 740v2. The fit is comfortable and fairly standard in width, with enough room in the toe box for everyday wear.

• Between two sizes? Many people choose the larger one, especially with thicker socks.
• Wider feet? Half a size up can give a bit more room at the front.
• Already own a New Balance 740 or 530? Most people take the same size in the 740v2.

The easiest way to be sure is to try a pair on in our store in Tilburg. Ordered online and the size is not right? You have 14 days to return or exchange.

How to style the New Balance 740v2

Because the 740v2 has so much colour and detail, it works best with a simple outfit. Grey sweatpants, baggy jeans, nylon track pants or cargo shorts with white socks let the shoe stand out. Concord Grape looks great with grey and black, Pink Granite with light denim and cream, and Monarch Wine with brown and navy in the colder months. Fans of other Y2K runners like the ASICS Gel-1130 will feel right at home in the 740v2.

To keep the mesh and overlays fresh, brush off dry dirt, use a mild sneaker cleaner and let the shoes air dry. Our sneaker cleaning products make it easy.
