If, like us, you missed out on New Balance's hottest sneaker when it dropped earlier this year, then boy do we have news for you. The coveted 204L is making a long-awaited return today, and you best believe we'll be getting our hands on them this time around.

When the shoes first dropped in July this year, the fashion world was sent into a frenzy by their slim, sculpted silhouette and early-2000s nostalgia. Of course, it helps that they bear a striking resemblance to New Balance's famed sneaker collaboration with Miu Miu – perfect for anyone looking to emulate Miu Miu's brand of off-beat preppiness.

Now, the 204L is back – and they’re giving you a second chance. Whether you're styling them with long socks and a mini à la Miuccia Prada, baggy jeans, or oversized tailoring, they’re the kind of wear-everywhere sneaker that balances function with fashion.

Keen to secure a pair? All the important information – including what time you'll need to be at your computer – below.

How much are they?

The upcoming restock will be priced at $190 AUD.

What colourways are available?

They'll be back in both brown suede and beige colourways – two neutral additions that make for very easy, chic wearing.

They're also currently in stock (with limited sizes, admittedly) in a range of silver metallic colourways, as well as all black. Take your pick.
