New Balance T500 "Clay Ash" CT500EB
New Balance brings back the T500, reviving a classic tennis silhouette from 1982 with a modern twist. Originally designed for on-court performance, this reissue leans into everyday wear while keeping the details that made the original a standout.
The upper features a mix of premium pigskin suede and nubuck, delivering a soft yet durable feel. Perforations on the toe box maintain breathability, staying true to its athletic heritage. A woven tongue label and subtle “New Balance” branding on the heel add to the clean aesthetic. The “Clay Ash” colourway, accented with Tea Tree and Angora tones, gives the sneaker a muted, sophisticated look that works across different settings.
A gum midsole and outsole replace the typical vulcanised sole found in older court shoes, nodding to 1980s sneaker tech while improving comfort. A contoured polyurethane footbed ensures support, while the herringbone outsole pattern, complete with a pivot circle, enhances traction for stability on various surfaces.
With its blend of vintage charm and modern updates, the T500 “Clay Ash” fits effortlessly into both casual and smart-casual rotations. Expect it to drop soon at select retailers and New Balance online. Be quick—this one won’t be around for long.
