#1 New Balance 530 Sneakers
The famous dad shoe has been on the fashion scene for several years. Within
this trend, comfortable walking shoes were transformed into a fashion statement
and many female influencers made the trend popular. The New
Balance 530 is another key player. The comfortable, somewhat clunky
sneaker still forms the basis of many outfits today.
New Balance running shoe
The NB 530 was released in 1992 and was intended as a
performance running sneaker. The shoe was a favourite among many sneaker
enthusiasts, due to its simple design. The materials used on the sneaker were
suede, leather and mesh. What was unique about the design were the
special New Balance technologies

Nowadays, the comfortable running shoe is not only used
during sports, but has become a real fashion item. The sporty sneaker fits the
dad shoe trend that started a few years ago. As you can see, the chunky retro
sneaker fits this trend perfectly.
In the past, sneakers were only
accepted during sports, but in recent years this image has (fortunately) shifted.
On the contrary, you can combine extremely sporty sneakers, such as the 530,
with neat clothing. These opposites create a striking outfit with which you
make a statement. Besides making your outfit look fashionable, the sneakers are
also very comfortable to wear.

the feet) of the outfit, and yet another example of the model's ever-growing
appreciation for New Balance's sporty silhouettes.
#2 New Balance 327 Sneakers
The ’70s-inspired New Balance 327 sneakers features bold suede color
blocking and a wedge silhouette. The 327s borrow features from the best
trail running shoes, including an adjustable lace closure and
trail-inspired lug outsole. These sneakers pair well with anything from
athletic apparel to easy jeans, taking you from your morning workout to
lunch. Katie

pants and a wool trench
*What reviewers say: One customer said, “Love the
styling of the shoes. Super comfortable. A little snug in the midsole, but
that’s better to keep from sliding. Very roomy elsewhere. Get lots of
compliments on these. I also like how they came with colored laces but also a
set of white if I want to change. The grip on the sole and the rear is also
excellent.
# 3 New Balance 550 Sneakers
The New Balance 550 sneakers are cult-favorite white
sneakers for women and men that provide effortless style and comfort.
Designed with clean lines and durable layers of leather, the heritage shoe is
simple and reliable. New Balance 550s were originally worn by professional
basketball players in the ’80s and ’90s, and now give a vintage flair to casual
outfits from athleisure to denim.
What reviewers say: “A nice classic cut on these retro
basketball sneakers. They are extremely comfortable and easy to dress up or
down. So glad I bought them. They’re comfortable and stylish. I will be
ordering another pair.”
#4 New Balance 2002R
The New Balance 2002R features a combination of suede, leather, and mesh
materials on the upper, which provides both durability and breathability. The
midsole is made of ABZORB foam, which provides excellent cushioning and shock
absorption.
One of New Balance's most popular sneakers of 2020 wasn't something brand-new, but
it also wasn't a simple re-release of years past. The 2002R,
the R added for the 2020 version, was based off the brand's 2002 sneaker. The
original version was a $250, "Made in USA" lifestyle shoe from
2010. Last year’s update saw the shoe's original upper paired with the sole
unit from the 860v2. The 2002R gained popularity this past year thanks in part
to a collaboration with former Versace designer Salehe Bembury, as well as
projects with Thisisneverthat and Invincible, but the origins of the shoe are
murky, even to die-hard footwear connoisseurs.
#5 New Balance 9060 Sneakers
The New Balance 9060 sneakers are the epitome of the chunky
sneaker trend. They have porous mesh for all-day breathability in the
upper, anchored by Y2K-inspired suede bar overlays. The bold pod midsole helps
absorb impact, and a translucent disk in the heel adds some textural,
tech-forward appeal.
The futuristic style is loved by Hailey Bieber, who often pairs her 9060s with crew socks,
bike shorts, and an oversized jacket after a workout.
What reviewers say: “New B alance has been on the
up-and-up recently with their 2002R and 990v3 silhouettes and the 9060 is no
different! With amazing comfort for all feet and that trendy dad shoe vibe that
is so popular right now, the 9060 has it all!”
What color sneakers are best?
Neutrals are still your best choice. Black, grey, and khaki-colored
kicks can be paired beautifully with office attire; leather sneakers in these
colors are especially great as these can quickly go from bullpen to boardroom
without any effort.
