Full details

These shoes are perfect for those who value both sculptural design and practical cushioning, though users should note that the synthetic overlays and futuristic construction are optimized for lifestyle wear rather than high-intensity performance training.

FAQs

Are the New Balance 983 trainers true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though if you prefer wearing thicker socks, some users recommend going up a half size.

Can I use these for running?

While inspired by archive running shoes, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. They are suitable for light walking and casual use.

How do I remove mud from the synthetic overlays?

Allow the mud to dry completely first, then gently brush it off before wiping with a damp cloth.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the internal liners can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.

What is the primary material in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a breathable mesh base reinforced with durable synthetic overlays.

Troubleshooting

Feeling tightness across the top of the foot

Loosen the laces starting from the eyelets closest to the toe box to provide more volume.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove compacted dust or debris, which can accumulate in the textured tread patterns.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural and eye-catching design language
  • Excellent cushioning from ABZORB SBS technology
  • Durable traction on common urban surfaces
  • Comfortable padded collar design
  • Versatile unisex styling

Cons

  • Not intended for technical marathon or high-performance athletics
  • Synthetic overlays may show scuffs more readily than mesh-only designs
  • Requires a break-in period for the dual-density foam

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers come pre-laced, setup is limited to adjusting the laces for your preferred tension across the midfoot. For best care, store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the breakdown of the midsole foam. To clean, remove loose debris with a soft-bristled brush, and wipe synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can compromise the integrity of the ABZORB pods and adhesive layers.
