Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 950 is an ideal choice for adults seeking a blend of retro basketball aesthetics and daily comfort. Designed with a court-inspired heritage from the mid-80s, these trainers offer a versatile look that transitions easily from casual outings to smart-casual settings, though users should note that the leather construction is best suited for dry weather conditions rather than intensive high-impact sports.

FAQs

Is the New Balance 950 suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the 950 features a wide toe box design, which generally provides more room and comfort for users with broader feet.

Can I wear these for playing basketball?

While the 950 is inspired by 80s basketball culture, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and does not contain the technical performance features required for modern sports.

How do I maintain the leather material?

Use a damp cloth for surface cleaning and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex product, fitting both men and women.

What is the primary material used in this shoe?

The upper is constructed primarily from leather, providing a durable and stylish exterior.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuffs or light marks

Gently buff the area with a dry soft cloth or use a specialized leather eraser to lift marks without damaging the finish.

Laces becoming undone frequently

Ensure laces are threaded through the eyelets evenly and consider a double-knot for a more secure fit during heavy walking.

Creasing at the toe box

This is a natural occurrence in leather footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for various casual outfits
  • Roomy toe box improves comfort for longer wear
  • Durable leather construction
  • Classic basketball-inspired aesthetic

Cons

  • Leather material requires careful cleaning
  • Not intended for high-performance court sports
  • Limited breathability compared to mesh alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the 950 is constructed from leather, avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine. To keep them looking fresh, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and a damp, lint-free cloth for the leather upper. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly to the material. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. Given their neutral Black/Grey colourway, these trainers are highly compatible with a wide range of clothing colours.
