New Balance T500 "Rose Sugar" CT500EA

New Balance revives the T500, a classic tennis-inspired silhouette first introduced in 1982. Originally designed for on-court performance, this reissue shifts its focus to everyday wear while keeping the timeless construction that made it a standout.

The upper combines premium pigskin suede and nubuck, delivering a soft yet durable feel. Perforations on the toe box improve breathability, staying true to the shoe’s functional roots. A woven tongue label and a subtle “New Balance” wordmark on the heel add understated branding. The “Rose Sugar” colourway, complemented by Blast Red and Angora tones, brings a fresh and refined look.

Beneath the upper, the gum midsole and outsole provide a nod to 1980s sneaker tech. Unlike older court models with vulcanised soles, this version incorporates a contoured polyurethane footbed for enhanced comfort. A herringbone traction pattern, complete with a pivot circle, ensures a stable grip whether worn on the streets or indoors.

With its mix of retro details and modern craftsmanship, the T500 “Rose Sugar” fits effortlessly into both casual and smart-casual rotations. Expect it to land at select retailers and New Balance online soon. Stay ready—these won’t stay on shelves for long.
