New Balance T500 "Sea Salt & Infield Clay" CT500DA

The New Balance T500 returns with a clean reissue in “Sea Salt & Infield Clay”, reviving a 1982 tennis silhouette that once served performance on court and now suits everyday wear. This version keeps its roots intact, swapping function for casual versatility while leaning into textures that bring the retro shape to life.

The upper features a soft mix of pigskin suede and nubuck, layered in off-white tones with clay accents across the heel tab and tongue label. Perforations on the toe box hint at its original purpose, while giving the shoe a breathable, throwback look that wears well in any season.

New Balance stays close to the original design with a classic low-cut shape and simple branding. You’ll find the woven tongue tag and ‘New Balance’ wordmark on the heel, but everything else stays clean and minimal. A gum midsole adds a subtle nod to vintage tennis trainers, with just enough contrast to stand out against the lighter upper.

Underfoot, the herringbone traction pattern and pivot circle sit on a flat sole unit—an echo of its court-ready origins. This setup provides casual grip and comfort, whether you’re on the move or posted up in a pair of wide trousers.
