Accurate sizing in the RC30

No, this is not a version of the RC30 that you're supposed to wear at a specific time after sunrise or before sunset. This Golden Hour is a product born out of New Balance's collaboration with American actor Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino.

The Golden Hour, to be specific, is one of the colorways under the NB X Donald Glover collab. It's a mostly khaki affair that's outlined with pearl white around the collar and finished off with the iconic New Balance logo, which is also in white.

When it comes to appearance (besides colorways), this collab version is slightly different from the vanilla variant. Its leather overlays have a rougher texture compared with the OG's suede-like finish.

Price-wise, the Glover edition is more expensive than the base RC30. Yes, the former is $20 pricier than the latter.
