The New Balance 530 is one of the most searched sneakers in the Netherlands. It is easy to understand why: it looks sporty without being bulky, feels comfortable from the first day and goes with almost everything in your wardrobe.

The story of the New Balance 530

The 530 started out as a running shoe in the 1990s. Like many models from that era, it combined a breathable mesh upper with synthetic overlays and a cushioned midsole built for long runs. A few years ago New Balance brought it back as a lifestyle sneaker, right when the retro running look became popular again, and since then it has become one of the brand's best selling models.

The 530 shows exactly what people love about New Balance right now. It has the layered look of an archive runner, but it is lighter and more low key than chunky models like the New Balance 9060. That makes it a great first New Balance and a reliable everyday pair.

Design and comfort

The upper of the 530 is made of mesh with synthetic leather overlays, often finished with metallic silver details that catch the light. The midsole has a slightly chunky, wavy shape with ABZORB cushioning, which gives the shoe a soft and springy feel. The padded collar and tongue keep your foot comfortable, and because the shoe is fairly light, you can easily wear it all day.

The mix of mesh and overlays also keeps the 530 breathable, so it works in spring and summer as well as in autumn with thicker socks.

Popular New Balance 530 colorways

The 530 comes in many colorways, and new ones drop regularly. These are the pairs our customers ask about most:

• White and silver: Munsell White, White Grey Red and Silver Metallic Polka Dots. The classic New Balance 530 look, fresh and easy to combine.
• Beige and cream: Sea Salt Moonbeam, Turtledove and Beige Green. Soft, neutral tones that are very popular as women's sneakers.
• Brown: Brown Tan and Turtledove Mushroom. Warm earthy shades for anyone looking for a brown New Balance 530.

New Balance 530 for women, men and kids

The 530 is a unisex sneaker and most colorways come in a wide size range. As a women's sneaker it is especially popular in beige, cream, white and pink, while men often go for grey, white silver or brown. The 530 is also made in kids sizes. When we carry those, you will see (GS) or (PS) in the product name. In the end it is your own style that decides, and we always show the EU size on the product page.

How does the New Balance 530 fit?

As general advice, most people take their usual sneaker size in the New Balance 530. The shoe feels comfortable and fairly standard in width, with enough room in the toe box for everyday wear.

• Between two sizes? Many people choose the larger one, especially with thicker socks.
• Wider feet? Half a size up often gives a bit more room at the front.
• Already own a New Balance 9060 or 2002R? The 530 feels a little less roomy, so most people stick to their normal size here.

The easiest way to be sure is to try a pair on in our store in Tilburg. Ordered online and the size is not right? You have 14 days to return or exchange.

How to style the New Balance 530

The 530 is one of the easiest sneakers to style. White and silver pairs look sharp with light denim, shorts and a simple T-shirt in summer. Beige and brown colorways match earthy tones, wide trousers and knitwear. Grey pairs go well with black and navy for an everyday look. The relatively slim profile also means the 530 works with dresses and skirts.

To keep your 530 looking fresh, brush off dry dirt, clean the mesh with a mild sneaker cleaner and let the shoes air dry. Our sneaker cleaning products are made for this.
