Artificial leather overlays, mesh underlays, textile lining, and rubber outsole.
Condition
Fair to Poor. Significant surface dirt, interior heel lining wear, and visible scuffing at the toe. Midsoles show signs of aging/oxidation.
Demand Level
Moderate. While New Balance is 'Hot,' this specific performance-budget model relies on the 'dirty vintage/thrifty' aesthetic rather than high-end collector value.

Estimated Retail Value
$65.00 - $75.00 (original retail price during production era).

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Poshmark are best for this specific 'vintage aesthetic' look. eBay is a secondary option for utility buyers.
Selling Tips
A deep clean is mandatory to maximize profit. Use a soft brush for the mesh and oxy-clean for the laces. Use keywords like 'Y2K,' 'Dad Shoe,' 'Vintage Tech,' and 'Retro Runner.' Disclose that because they are vintage, you cannot guarantee longevity of the soles.
