New Balance AC Runner 'Black Afterglow' MACR15LG Men's & Women's Sneakers

The New Balance AC Runner 'Black Afterglow' (style code MACR15LG) is a unisex runner-style sneaker in a blacked-out palette lifted by afterglow accents. The layered mesh and synthetic upper keeps the build light and breathable, and the dark base makes it one of the easiest pairs in the lineup to pull on without thinking about the rest of the outfit.

Why you'll want this pair

• Goes with everything: A near-all-black base works with denim, black jeans, tailored pants, and gym fits alike.
• Light, breathable upper: Engineered mesh with synthetic overlays keeps weight down and air moving.
• Cushioned midsole: A foam midsole built to absorb impact through commutes, errands, and long hours on pavement.
• Runner silhouette: A sleeker, sportier shape than the chunky retro models, easy to wear with tapered pants.
• Low-maintenance color: Dark panels hide scuffs and city dirt far better than white or cream pairs.

Frequently asked questions

Does the New Balance AC Runner run true to size?
Yes. Take your usual New Balance size; go up half a size if your feet are wide.

Is the AC Runner a chunky sneaker?
No. It has a sleeker running-inspired profile, slimmer than models like the 9060 or 2000.

Is it comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. The cushioned midsole and lightweight upper suit long walks and standing, though it is a lifestyle shoe rather than a performance running shoe.

Is this a men's or women's shoe?
It is unisex. Women typically convert by going down about 1.5 sizes from their US women's size.

How do I clean them?
Wipe the mesh with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then air dry away from direct heat. Never machine wash.

Are these authentic?
Yes, every pair ships brand new in the original box with all accessories.
