FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual basketball play?

While inspired by basketball shoes, the 650R is primarily designed as a stylish, everyday trainer for casual wear. For serious athletic performance, dedicated basketball shoes are recommended.

How do I know if I need to size up?

It is recommended to try them on if possible. If ordering online, many users find ordering one size larger provides a more comfortable fit, especially if you have wider feet.

What is the best way to clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution or a dedicated leather cleaner can be applied with a soft cloth.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash leather shoes as this can damage the material and construction. Hand wash or spot clean only.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of durable rubber, providing good traction for everyday use.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The New Balance 650 series is available in various colorways. This specific guide pertains to the White/Black variant (MPN BB650RCE).

What does '80s design' refer to in the description?

It refers to the aesthetic and construction elements common in basketball shoes from the 1980s, such as the silhouette, padding, and overall design language.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight

As recommended, try ordering one size larger for a more comfortable fit.

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with wear. You can use shoe trees to help maintain shape when not in use and minimize creases.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber soles are clean. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider professional sole treatments or aftermarket grips if needed.

Discoloration of leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate leather care products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear and designed for a male or unisex demographic. They pair well with a wide range of casual clothing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains.
  4. Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine.
