Like what it did with the NB 550 and 650, Teddy Santis and his New York-based fashion label Aimé Leon Dore breathe new life into a forgotten New Balance silhouette from the ‘80s. The New Balance T500 debuted in 1982 as a marquee tennis trainer, sporting a low-top construction and all-white uppers to abide by traditional tennis sneakers. This Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance T500 “White Red” gives the shoe a lifestyle-focused makeover composed of its titular hues of white and red.
With rising tennis superstar and New Balance athlete Coco Gauff at the forefront of promotions, New Balance’s vintage tennis shoe catalogue welcomes another classic to the roster with the help of Aimé Leon Dore. This collaboration boasts three colourways in the pack, all outfitted in white upper base layers with aged hits on the midsole. This colourway has a clean white leather base with a perforated toe panel echoing ‘80s tennis shoes. Red accents grace the N logo on the sides, lining, heel tab, and co-branded labels on the tongue. The yellowish midsole delivers vintage aesthetics, while the rubber sole wraps up the design of this classic model, preparing to serve up an ace and become the brand’s next lifestyle staple.
