The New Balance 530 Classic Black Gray is a technical running shoe that finds inspiration in classic sneaker designs from the New Balance catalog. <br> <br> One of the first things you notice is the overlapping overlays that come in Classic Black, gray, and Metallic Silver. They’re constructed from leather and suede, and create a sense of movement across the upper due to the line designs. The upper is made of breathable mesh in Classic Black, while the tongue boasts a combination of mesh and synthetic materials. In terms of technology, an ABZORB midsole provides responsive cushioning and gives the sneaker a slightly bulky silhouette. This feature is similar to elements on early 2000s running shoes. <br> <br> Our StockX experts like the application of Classic Black on the rubber outsole because it contrasts the white midsole. The New Balance 530 Classic Black Gray was released on January 30th, 2023, and retailed at $100.
