Dad shoes that make your feet feel better
Originally a running shoe for top-level athletes, it was not a surprise how a user commented “I can run in them!” With the ABZORB midsole that improves impact absorption, long walks are also not a 2002R as a critic mentioned that “these are so comfortable that long distances are possible without the soreness.”
Many buyers of these sneakers took the advice of their therapists to address the niggles that they had throughout their bodies:
- “I am able to walk without the pain experienced when wearing other trainers.”
- “I bought these as I was having 2002Rs with lots of aches and lower body pain after walking around cities.”

The New Balance Homme 373v2 en Gris Blanc Beige is one of the classic silhouettes that have many different collaborations with different brands. What started with Aimé Leon Dore’s take on these kicks was followed by a release from Seoul-based streetwear brand, thisisneverthat. After this, a Stray Rats colorway was released a few months after.
Mixed reviews were received from New Balance fans about the different colorways of the 827s. A critic appreciated the cream colors from Aimé Leon Dore’s release which “lets colors on the shoe shine without looking too chaotic.” Another argued that they felt that “the colors are too much” for them. To top it off, another critic said that these are “kinda ugly in a good way.”
Quality is questionable
For fans of New Balance kicks who appreciate the top-notch quality that their sneakers have to offer, the 827s fall short in this category. An expert had negative comments on these kicks as they said that these “felt very thin and didn’t reach the ‘super premium’ quality that was expected.” Another critic agreed and gave more details as they mentioned how the “upper material is completely off and has bad stitching throughout.”
The New Balance Homme 373v2 en Gris Blanc Beiges are pricey dad shoes
