T500 Shoes deliver heritage tennis style in a premium, street-ready build
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I didn’t expect these to be this comfortable—seriously. The T500 has that classic low-profile look with elevated materials that make it feel like more than a throwback. It’s low-key enough for everyday wear but still looks clean with jeans or trousers. Bonus points for the wide toe box!"
When New Balance brought the T500 Shoe back from 1982, they didn’t just revive a sneaker—they reintroduced a cult-classic with upgraded comfort. Originally built for the court, this version is all about lifestyle, pairing the retro tennis silhouette with a supple blend of pigskin suede and nubuck.
Perforated details across the toe box and subtle heel branding nod to vintage roots, while the cushy polyurethane footbed and gum rubber outsole ensure it performs like a modern lifestyle essential. Whether you're running errands, heading to brunch, or logging steps around town, the T500 blends archival cool with all-day comfort.

Great shoe
Comfortable and stylish. Supportive sole, great for walking. Shoe gets noticed and random folks comment how nice they look.

Close but seeming design flaw
Liked the shoes, except for the heel cup design. There are fairly large seems on the sides of the heel cup and it rubs and it didn’t feel comfortable. Other then that, could've loved these kicks.

Great style!
Love the style of the shoe! It is pretty low rise, so typical ankle socks 100% show. Not a problem if you have some low rise or no show socks. I don’t love the no show socks that’s the only thing I don’t like is how low the shoe is.

Great shoe but size down half size
Love these shoes, however they’re like half a size bigger than every other new balance shoe I have for some reason.

Love my pair in green suede!
The green suede is high quality. The arch support is great. Narrow sole, but not uncomfortable. The color scheme is very appealing and neutral enough to match most outfits.

The working man's fashion sneaker
First ever pair of NB and I love them. The fit is great, the syle is great, construction feels solid, and not ridiculously expensive like so many other good-looking sneakers these days
