Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 950 is a versatile, court-inspired trainer designed for adults who value a blend of heritage basketball aesthetics and modern everyday comfort. Featuring durable leather construction and a spacious design, these sneakers are ideal for casual daily wear, though the retro-inspired, blocky outsole may feel heavier than contemporary performance-focused running footwear.

FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

The New Balance 950 generally fits true to size, though the wide toe box provides a roomier sensation compared to performance running shoes.

Can I use these for playing basketball?

While the 950 is inspired by 80s basketball, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the technical cushioning and support needed for competitive basketball.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp, soft cloth for daily cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the leather finish.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the wide toe box design makes them an excellent choice for individuals who prefer more space in the forefoot.

Is the sole non-marking?

The durable rubber outsole is generally safe for indoor court use, but check local facility requirements if you plan to wear them for specific gym activities.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing scuffs or marks

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to buff away light scuffs; for deeper marks, apply a matching shoe cream.

Shoe feels too loose

Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets or add a thin, comfortable insole to fill excess volume in the wide toe box.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design matches various casual outfits
  • Durable leather material is easy to maintain
  • Roomy toe box accommodates wider feet well
  • Authentic 80s-inspired retro aesthetic

Cons

  • Leather construction is less breathable than mesh
  • Blocky outsole adds weight compared to modern trainers
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers maintain their condition, perform the following care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild leather cleaner.
  2. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
  3. Compatibility: These are unisex shoes, so ensure you check the UK sizing against your personal fit preference, as the wide toe box may feel different than standard narrow-fit sneakers.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent dryness.
