Warm tones, vintage soul. The 471 'Brown' wraps a soft cream nylon base in buttery tan suede overlays, stamped with a rich espresso-brown 'N' logo – like your favorite café in shoe form. The olive-and-lavender two-tone laces add just enough personality without shouting. Jeans, chinos, neutrals, earth tones: it all works.
