New Balance 530 Sneakers – Chocolate Brown

The 530 in deep chocolate brown, with a cream sole.

Deep chocolate brown, warmed up by a cream sole: this New Balance 530 moves well away from the usual light versions. A rich, autumnal colourway that looks great with denim, beige, khaki or cream, for a pair of sneakers out of the ordinary.

The details

• Mid-90s running silhouette, brought back to the catalogue and now an everyday classic
• Large N logo on the side, in stitched synthetic
• Visible ABZORB cushioning at the back of the midsole
• Chocolate brown mesh and panels
• Cream midsole that warms up the overall look
• A bold colorway, very different from the usual light-colored versions

Material and construction

• Mesh upper with synthetic panels and metallic details
• ABZORB midsole, full-length shock absorption
• Rubber outsole with a ribbed pattern
• Padded collar, cushioned tongue

Which size to choose?

The 530 fits true to size in length, with a rather narrow forefoot. If you have wide feet, go up half a size.

International sizes

Sizes are indicated in European (EU) sizing, from 36 to 46. This is the reference used in France and throughout continental Europe. To convert: an EU 42 corresponds roughly to a UK 8 and a US 8.5 men's.

Sizes are shown in EU sizing (36 to 46). EU 42 ≈ UK 8 ≈ US 8.5 men's.

A shoe size says nothing about the width, which changes from one model to another: refer to the size advice above, as it is specific to this model.

Care

Brush dry to remove dust. Suede should be treated with a crepe brush or a special suede eraser, never with water. The mesh and synthetic panels can be cleaned by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry: heat will cause the soles to peel. Air dry, stuffed with paper to maintain shape.
