Is the New Balance 204L vegan?
Probably, but we can’t confirm it.
3 of the 5 New Balance 204L colourways we checked have a clean material label, but they publish no product description, so we cannot rule out a smaller animal material such as a suede overlay. Nothing here is confirmed animal-free. 2 contain leather, suede or another animal material. Check the photos before buying.
