The New Balance Numeric 340 lands with a new approach to vulcanised skate footwear, combining all the boardfeel of a classic vulc shoe with the comfort and support usually reserved for cupsole shoes. Designed from the ground up for the demands of skateboarding, the NM340 is the first truly vulcanised skate shoe to feature a built-in polyurethane midsole, which delivers improved impact protection without sacrificing the flexibility and flick that vulcanised shoes are known for. Available in three seasonal colourways, the 340 offers a clean, understated silhouette that's great to skate in.
Built using a premium mix of suede, mesh, synthetic materials and pigskin, the upper balances durability, breathability and lightweight comfort for everyday wear. A double-layered toe cap reinforces one of the shoe's highest-wear areas, helping it stand up to repeated abuse. Inside, an OrthoLite® insole provides long-lasting cushioning and moisture management, while a PU heel wedge works alongside the integrated polyurethane midsole to absorb impacts and reduce fatigue on bigger drops. Finished with a durable herringbone rubber outsole for dependable grip and consistent board control, the NM340 is built to perform from the very first wear.
Fusing innovative construction with New Balance Numeric's proven skate technology, the NM340 bridges the gap between traditional vulcanised performance and modern comfort. Whether you prefer the precise boardfeel of a vulc or you're looking for extra support, the New Balance Numeric 340 is one of the most progressive skate shoes to join the line-up, offering a fresh take on a time-tested silhouette.
