New Balance's 204V made a bold entrance into the sneaker world earlier this month. For its latest drop, the Mary Jane-style model gets in touch with its grey roots.

The new "Bayberry" pair arrives as an all-grey take on the laceless low-soled sneaker, complete with the usual luxe suede and mesh construction plus the convenient strap.

It basically keeps all the great things about the 204L, including its flat rubber soles and Miu Miu-level charm, but leaves the laces at home. It's also now dressed in New Balance Grey, the brand's signature color.

The 204V debuted in mid-July 2026, arriving in lively orange and blue colorways. The next round of laceless sneakers, which comes in Bayberry and Turtledove options, looks to be much calmer flexes.

Retailing for $120, the newest New Balance 204V sneakers are set to release on August 7 on the brand's website.
