The 530 features a retro running shoe silhouette. It has a chunky sole and a mix of materials in the upper, including mesh, leather, and synthetic overlays. This combination provides both durability and breathability.
The New Balance 530 is also equipped with ABZORB cushioning technology in the midsole. This innovation provides excellent shock absorption and enhances comfort during prolonged wear.
You’ll also appreciate the arch support and stability of the 530. No wonder it’s a practical choice for both casual wear and light physical activities for men, women, and children. The New Balance 530 is available in various sizes ranging from toddlers to grown-ups.
Versatility and Style
While originally designed as a running shoe, the New Balance 530 has found a place in casual and streetwear fashion. These retro kicks pair well with a variety of outfits, so it has become a favorite among social media gurus, hip youngsters, and more. Social media influencers and fashion bloggers have since featured the New Balance 530 in their outfits, boosting its popularity among younger generations. Their endorsements have helped cement the 530s as a trendy and stylish choice.
The resurgence of 1990s fashion trends has also brought the New Balance 530 back into the spotlight. It is often seen in fashion editorials and on social media, embraced by influencers and fashion enthusiasts alike. It’s stylish because it’s not trying too hard. Celebrated for its retro vibe, the chunky silhouette and classic design elements make them a staple in the "dad shoe" trend, too.
If you want something more unique than the standard pair of white or gray New Balance, the company occasionally collaborates with designers and brands to release limited edition versions of the 530. Through these collars, they’ll add different design elements and exclusive colorways.
