FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?

While inspired by 80s basketball shoes, the 950 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the modern performance technology required for competitive play.

Does the leather stretch over time?

Like most leather footwear, the material will soften and conform slightly to the shape of your foot with regular wear.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults.

How do I choose the correct size?

The 950 features a standard fit with a wide toe box. It is recommended to choose your usual size, but if you are between sizes, the wide box often accommodates those who prefer a little extra room.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole together. Use manual cleaning methods only.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuffs or light scratches

Use a matching black or grey leather conditioner or cream to buff out minor surface imperfections.

Shoes feel too loose despite correct size

Adjust the lacing technique using the top eyelets for a more secure fit, or insert a thin aftermarket insole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clean, classic aesthetic fits well with casual and smart-casual outfits
  • Durable leather construction for long-term wear
  • Wide toe box provides extra comfort for various foot shapes
  • Versatile unisex sizing and color scheme

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity competitive basketball use
  • Leather material may require more maintenance than mesh alternatives
  • Retro silhouette may be heavier than modern performance-specific trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers maintain their aesthetic and structural integrity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack or warp the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the wide toe box when not in use.
  4. Protection: Apply a leather-appropriate protective spray to help repel water and prevent stains, especially if you reside in a climate with frequent precipitation.
