TLDR: New Balance brings back the legendary T500 from 1982. Originally designed as a tennis shoe, the model has now been given a stylish makeover for everyday wear. High-quality pigskin and nubuck leather, a perforated toe box and a rubber midsole provide retro vibes with modern comfort. New Balance stays true to the original DNA of the T500, but opts for a reworked choice of materials for a timeless look. The premium pigskin and nubuck upper gives the shoe a premium feel while ensuring durability. Perforations in the toe area improve breathability, while subtle branding elements such as a woven label on the tongue and a ‘New Balance’ embossing on the heel round off the minimalist design.
There are also updates to the sole technology: the rubber midsole is reminiscent of the 80s, but sets itself apart from the classic vulcanised soles of older court models. A contoured polyurethane insole provides additional comfort, while the outsole with a herringbone pattern and pivot circle is designed for optimum traction on different surfaces.
The T500 is available in various colour combinations, including an elegant ‘Rose Sugar’ design with accents in ‘Blast Red’ and ‘Angora’. This colour mix gives the retro shoe a modern touch.
