Casablanca x New Balance XC-72

Charaf Tajer’s prestigious brand, CASABLANCA, continues its successful partnership with Boston-based equipment manufacturer NEW BALANCE. Once again, this upcoming collaboration will launch a brand new silhouette, the NB XC-72.

Inspired by vintage running shoes, the new XC-72 sneaker was created by New Balance designer Charlotte Lee, who is also behind the famous 327.

The iteration designed with Casablanca features the same color palette as the first NB 327 revisited in the « Idealist » pack (article available HERE). The shoe consists of an upper combining white leather with light grey suede overlays, enhanced by touches of green and orange, the colors paying tribute to the Moroccan origins of Charaf Tajer. The bright orange hue is found in the lateral N logo, the heel tab and the overlay that separates the toe box in two parts and goes down to the sole. The green color is used to define the contours of the imposing N signature on the sides of the shoe and dresses the special sole going up to the mudguard. A long white tongue with green and orange embroidered co-brandings and white laces complete the look.

The Casablanca x New Balance XC-72 is scheduled to be released in spring 2021, alongside the next CASABLANCA « Grand Prix » collection, for a price of around 150€. An « All White » iteration has also appeared on social networks… More info coming soon, stay tuned !
