Forget designer collaborations and chunky silhouettes, because New Balance is changing the sneaker game with the all-new 204L. It not only caters to a growing segment of consumers who appreciate a slim sneaker structure with a sleek design. The suggested retail price of SGD159 also provides a relatively accessible entry point for everyday footwear.
While early leaks show numerous colour iterations, New Balance officially announces that the 204L will debut with the 204LMMA from 30 July 2025 in Singapore. The unisex pair features beige/brown tones that the brand refers to as Mushroom with Arid Stone. This colour combination emphasises the sneaker’s understated appeal, with earthy, versatile tones that reinforce its wearability.

This will be followed up with the 204LMMC, otherwise known as Timberwolf with Linen in pale white-ish hues from 16 August 2025. The 204L isn’t aiming to be the loudest shoe on the block, and that’s precisely its strength. As sneaker culture matures, the range will surely become a favourite with those who value enduring style over fleeting fads.
In Singapore, you will find both 204L pairs at New Balance’s ION Orchard store, Limited Edt (both online and retail concepts), as well as Leftfoot boutiques.
