The New Balance 272 "Margielyn Didal" is designed in part with Filipino Olympian skater Margielyn Didal. For this design, Didal taps into her Cebuano roots with inspiration from a classic Filipino snack called “puso,” which is a woven pouch made of coconut leaves packed with rice. The black suede and mesh upper is paired with a gray checkered pattern on the lateral side that mimics the snack’s exterior after being weaved. Rounding off the footwear style is a "puso"-printed insole and redesigned vulcanized sole for built-in comfort. Margielyn Didal
