FAQs
What is the primary technology used for cushioning in the 740v2?
The 740v2 features New Balance's signature ABZORB midsole, known for its compression resistance and excellent cushioning properties.
Can these shoes be used for competitive running?
While they offer good cushioning and support suitable for daily running, they are based on a retro design and may not have the advanced, lightweight features of modern, specialized racing shoes.
How do I clean the graphic caging?
Gently wipe the caging with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to preserve the metallic finish and color.
What does the 'v2' in 740v2 signify?
The 'v2' typically indicates a second version or iteration of the original 740 model, often featuring updated materials, construction, or minor design adjustments while retaining the core essence of the original.
Are there other color options available for the 740v2 series?
Yes, while the Concord Grape is a specific colorway, the 740v2 series has been released in various color options, including other purple variants and multicolor combinations.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers with regular use?
With proper care and regular use for running or daily wear, the lifespan can vary, but typically trainers of this construction can last between 300-500 miles or approximately 6-12 months depending on usage intensity and frequency.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear with thinner socks or loosen the lacing system. The shoe may also require a short break-in period.
Cushioning feels insufficient
The ABZORB midsole provides consistent cushioning. For increased impact absorption, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for running.
Discoloration on the upper
Avoid exposing the shoes to prolonged direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
