New Balance 740v2 Concord Grape
The New Balance 740v2 Concord Grape with style code U740CG2 taps straight into early-2000s runner vibes with a sharp, court-ready twist. As an update of the 740, this v2 version blends retro performance DNA with a modern lifestyle shape that fits seamlessly into today’s sneaker rotation. In the Concord Grape / White / Phantom colourway, the shoe balances a crisp white base with bold purple and metallic detailing for a look that’s both sporty and standout. With its sculpted midsole, graphic cage and comfortable cushioning, the New Balance 740v2 Concord Grape U740CG2 is made for anyone who loves techy runners with a clean, contemporary edge.
Colorway: Concord Grape / White / Phantom
The New Balance 740v2 Concord Grape is built on a white open mesh upper that keeps the sneaker lightweight and breathable, while letting the layered design lines shine through. Over the top sits a dynamic synthetic cage in Concord Grape and Phantom, wrapping the toe, midfoot and heel and giving the shoe a clear Y2K running aesthetic. Metallic finishes and linear silver details along the cage add extra depth, catching the light and emphasising the sculpted side profile. A moulded 3D “N” logo in Concord Grape anchors the sidewalls and ties in with the purple accents on the heel and tongue branding. Underfoot, a textured white midsole with ABZORB cushioning delivers soft impact protection, while the contrasting black rubber outsole rounds off the look and provides reliable traction for daily wear. The result is a bold yet versatile runner-style sneaker that works just as well with track pants and shorts as it does with wide-leg denim or cargos.
How does the New Balance 740v2 Concord Grape fit?
The New Balance 740v2 Concord Grape fits true to size, and multiple retailers recommend choosing your regular New Balance or everyday sneaker size. The open mesh upper combined with the supportive synthetic cage gives a snug, secure feel around the midfoot, while the forefoot offers standard room for most foot shapes. Thanks to the ABZORB cushioning in the midsole, the 740v2 Concord Grape feels comfortable straight out of the box, making it a solid choice for long days on your feet. If you have very wide feet or sit between sizes and prefer a bit more room, going half a size up can provide some extra comfort, but for most people true to size will be the ideal option on the New Balance 740v2 Concord Grape U740CG2.
