Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 950 is designed for adults seeking a versatile, court-inspired sneaker that bridges the gap between athletic heritage and modern everyday wear. Featuring high-quality leather construction and a comfortable wide toe box, it offers a reliable fit for various foot shapes; however, potential users should note its specific design aesthetic, which favors a mid-80s basketball silhouette that may not suit those looking for ultra-modern performance running technology.

FAQs

Is the New Balance 950 suitable for running?

No, the 950 is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe inspired by court style, not for performance running.

Does the wide toe box mean I should size down?

It is recommended to stick to your standard UK size, as the wide toe box is designed to provide extra room for comfort rather than changing the overall length of the shoe.

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof shoes.

Can I use the New Balance 950 for indoor court sports?

While the design is inspired by basketball, these are modernized for lifestyle use and do not contain the specialized technical support required for professional indoor sports.

How do I determine my size in this model?

This model follows standard New Balance adult unisex sizing. Use your typical size for other New Balance casual models for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty keeping the white accents clean

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution with a soft-bristled brush, specifically focusing on non-leather areas to avoid damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and semi-casual outfits
  • Durable leather material for long-term wear
  • Wide toe box improves overall foot comfort
  • Classic basketball aesthetic that remains stylish

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Leather requires regular maintenance to keep looking fresh
  • Limited to a specific retro style that may not appeal to all preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 950 stays in optimal condition, treat the leather upper with a water and stain repellent spray before first use. Compatibility-wise, these shoes are unisex and pair well with denim, chinos, or casual joggers. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the leather becomes scuffed, apply a leather conditioner or cream matching the black colorway to restore its luster. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
