The sound of quick cuts on polished hardwood sets the scene before the shoe ever does. Games move faster now, and players want control without extra bulk. The New Balance P400 “Black” fits that reality, staying close to the floor and built for real minutes rather than highlight reels.
Smooth overlays are contrasted with softer suede-like panels around the midfoot and heel. On the lateral side sits a molded tonal “N” logo that keeps branding pretty clean along with an embroidered New Balance wordmark on the padded tongue. Around the midsole, the firmer foam insert on the lateral side clearly lets you know stability is what they’re after when players plant and explode.
Dual cushioning combines EVA with a Fresh Foam X core for plush comfort with some responsiveness underfoot. A nylon plate allows for lightweight snap through stops, starts, pivots and the low-to-ground stance enhances court feel. Finally, the herringbone pattern outsole will give you dependable indoor traction rather than wow you with design.
