New Balance 650R Trainers - White/Black - UK 12

While inspired by 80s basketball shoes, the 650R has a sleeker design optimized for everyday wear and casual use, not high-performance basketball.

The upper is primarily constructed from high-quality leather.

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. For stubborn stains, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

The 650R offers a sleeker, more everyday wearable look compared to the 550, which has a more pronounced on-court aesthetic.

This guide focuses on the White/Black colourway. Other colour options may be available depending on the retailer and current New Balance offerings.

Sizing can vary between brands and models. It is recommended to consult the New Balance size guide or check customer reviews for specific feedback on the fit of the 650R model in UK 12.

The leather upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying on in-store if possible, or verify the specific measurements for a UK 12.

Minor creasing is normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit without being too tight.

This can occasionally happen with darker dyed materials. It may lessen with wear. Consider wearing darker socks initially or using a color-protecting spray.
