Designed for minimalists, the New Balance RC42 is a shoe that respects people who like to keep things on the down low. If that sounds like you, now’s the time to check out the JD Sports Australia line-up, which features the instant-classic sneaker (available in men’s and women’s sizes) in various colours, including white, black, and blue.

Learn about the New Balance RC42

The New Balance RC42 joined the RC line in 2024, setting itself apart from previous NB sneakers by emphasising the type of timeless simplicity observed in footwear from the retro era, whose influence remains unmatched. The shoe features materials such as leather, mesh, and suede, which serve both to add attention-grabbing details and to create a sturdy, comfortable frame.

Upon release, the RC42 was available in four distinct colours: Cream White Gum, White Black, Grey Gum, and Black White. Today, however, you can find even more versions, giving you the freedom to choose the one that matches your personality and approach to fashion.

Styling the New Balance RC42

When compared to its counterparts within the brand, the New Balance RC42 is relatively low-key, standing out not because of its flashiness but because of its elegance. There are no unnecessary lines or contours, and the colours are well balanced, with contrast being created by a subtle white midsole, vintage gum sole, and slanted ‘N’ logo on the sidewall, which is prominent but complementary to the overall aesthetic of the shoe.

Though you’re more likely to see people wearing RC42s as part of their day-to-day outfit (with jeans, T-shirts, shorts, and so on), you could easily get away with taking them to more formal events—within reason, of course. They have a smart look about them, no doubt resulting from the restrained approach taken by the NB designers.
