The ’90s Classic New Balance 530 Returns in a Grey “Raincloud” Makeup
Another NB runner released to dominate the lifestyle space and the modern zeitgeist.
New Balance has been dominating the news cycle in the last few weeks with the reveal of Aminé’s signature sneaker, their collaboration with Studio FY7, and with the recent announcement of their MADE in USA Season 3 collection. Building off this momentum is the reemergence of the ’90s classic 530, dressed in the brand’s hallmark grey.
The color dresses the Shadow Grey mesh base layer. Its “Raincloud” suede overlays distinguished by the tonal rendering of the palette. Holistically, the aesthetic summons the Bostonian shoemaker’s classic and versatile design they’ve become beloved for. Insofar as the technical features, comfort remains uncompromised with the pair cushioned by NB’s signature ABZORB sole unit.
While the 530 was originally released in 1992 as a performance running sneaker, it’s now ready to dominate the lifestyle space similar to its contemporaries and contemporary zeitgeist. They’re available now in retailers like Asphalt Gold with an RRP of 129 EUR (~US$139).
