Was looking for a replacemcent for the MX407BK. This wasn't it. The upper looked like it was part of it was fake leather. Maybe it would have worn worse than the MX407BK. Maybe not, but it looked cheaper...almost like something you'd find at Payless like 10 years ago.
Worse thing was there is no arch support like generations of NB cross trainers have had. Also the EVA padding seemed a llittle les robust. My last pair was a 7. This one was an 8 but it fit about right.
Don't know what happened--- New Balance you were so much more reliable, before you became hip.
