Key Features: The RC205 (formerly known as the Comp800) is a retro long-distance running shoe, that Beauty & Youth has turned into a minimalist’s dream. The collaborative sneaker arrives in two colorways — beige and brown — and uses a mix of leather, suede, and canvas on its upper.

Editor’s Notes: The Beauty & Youth x New Balance RC205 is a tale of two minimalist colorways. The first uses contrast between brown leather and beige canvas to create vivid color-blocking. The second color scheme takes a more tonal cream and beige approach, resulting in a subtle sneaker that is easy to style.
