New Balance 530 Sneakers and Trainers | The Drop Date

The New Balance 530

The New Balance 530 is one of the most popular models from the brand, seen on the feet of Instagram influencers, gym goers, and casual wearers alike.
Originally designed as a performance running shoe in 1992, the model is built with high-quality materials including leather, suede and mesh.

New Balance 530 Design

The simple design of the NB530 has made it a favourite among people looking to style a number of outfits to one sneaker. The retro silhouette is generally released in neutral colorways, making it a popular choice in a variety of markets.
With ABZORB heel cushioning, which uses a special rubber called isoprene, a thick rubber outsole, and an ENCAP midsole made of an EVA wedge with a polyurethane rim, the New Balance 530 is designed to provide ultimate comfort and stability.

New Balance 530 Collabs

There has been a number of popular collaborations on New Balance models in recent years - think Aimé Leon Dore and Salehe Bembury.
The New Balance 530 has been no exception, and two of the most popular collaborations include a design in celebration of the Marvel film Spider-Man: Homecoming, and a team up with New York store West NYC that resulted in the 'Project 530'.

The Dad Shoe

While the New Balance 530 was originally designed as a running shoe, its comfortable and durable build has given it the moniker 'The Dad Shoe' as its all-day style and comfort meant it was a popular choice for men's casual wear.
Despite being named a 'Dad' shoe, it has just as much appeal for women as it does for men. A large number of female influencers are currently bringing the model back on trend, and sneaker fans love the chunky silhouette for its 90s nostalgia.
