The below article was originally published on April 18th, 2024.

Almost two years after its debut, we can safely say the New Balance 9060 has been a smash success. Comfortably on the brand’s podium alongside the New Balance 550 and New Balance 1906R, the design team in Boston is revisiting the well for their latest formulation, the New Balance 8040.

The design language that crosses over the 9060 is most apparent with the sole unit, a 1-to-1 graft of the chunky, blocky design that characterizes that silhouette. However, the design of the upper is brand-new, a development we really haven’t ever seen in the NB catalog before. It’s somewhere between a moc, a loafer and something new entirely, with 90’s Oakley slip-on models like the Flesh already floated as a close comparison. Seemingly forgoing a lace closure entirely, the shoe’s top half is composed of layered suede panels, sealing at the collar for easy-on, easy-off access. The length mudguard that stretches from the toe towards the quarter is a tie that subconsciously links these back to the company’s mainline, but the New Balance 8040 brings the company into outdoorsy, comfort-minded territory it previously left uncharted.

Our first look at the model includes three initial colorways; two monochromatic looks in navy and brown and a two-tone layout that centers on tan & black. Release info is understandably scant at the moment, but the New Balance 8040 is expected to drop this Fall. Get a closer look just ahead- images coming via SNS.

Sticking with new NB product, the New Balance 1906L loafer is also set to arrive sometime in Q3.
