Drawing inspiration from 1980s court culture, these leather trainers offer a timeless look with a spacious fit, though the retro construction may lack the high-tech adaptive cushioning found in dedicated modern performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. The roomy toe box provides a slightly more generous fit compared to technical running models.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While they are inspired by basketball history, they are lifestyle trainers and lack the modern technical support required for competitive play.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a soft brush.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 950 features a spacious toe box which often provides a more comfortable experience for those with wider feet.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles are designed to be removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Gently massage the leather upper or wear them indoors for a few hours to help the material soften.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for leather trainers; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers stay in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: As these are leather-based, wear them for shorter periods during the first few days to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners which can degrade the material finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discolouration.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect the white and grey tones from elements.
