Our Editors' Picks for the Best New Balance Sneakers
As long-time lovers of the brand, we have a lot of opinions about the best New Balance sneakers. While once defined by a recognizable bulky form, modern styles from New Balance have shifted to that of the ultra-sleek. Think: ballet sneakers, mules, and taekwondo shoes—thanks in part to collaborations with ultra-cool brands and athletes like Ganni, Miu Miu, and Coco Gauff. With no shortage of iterations to choose from, we decided to round up our favorites. The Best New Balance Sneakers Despite partaking in contemporary trends, the brand has stayed true to its origins as a highly-beloved (and widely trusted) dad shoe. New Balance kicks have been sported by fashion insiders and A-list stars alike, including Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, proving that even the thickest soles carry an air of coolness. ELLE's resident New Balance aficionado Dale Arden Chong has tested out nearly every style featured below, and the rest have been thoroughly researched. Here, find the New Balance shoes worth adding to your repertoire of fall sneakers. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a pair of New Balance 530s, cherish them. The style is so popular, it's often hard to find in stock. Rotating a pair like these into your lineup is sure to turn heads. Sizes: 5.5-15.5 ELLE editor review: 'I was a little wary about styling these with my everyday 'fits. That said, they've become a regular player in my sneaker rotation. The 530s have a chunky look that, especially with a slouchy sock, feels reminiscent of the '80s, and I mean that in the best possible way.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor This ultra-light iteration of the legendary 530 style adds a sporty detail to any outfit. The multi-colored laces and Miu Miu logo offer a touch of playfulness—and luxury. Sizes: 4-12 Every wardrobe needs a chunky, low-top basketball sneaker. Enter the New Balance 550. Originally debuted in 1989, the style has been reimagined and re-introduced throughout the years, and it's now a favorite amongst celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Adele, and Bella Hadid. Sizes: 5.5-17.5 ELLE editor Review: 'Consider me a victim of the hype, but I've been eyeing these ever since I saw the initial collaboration Aimé Leon Dore did with New Balance. I've waited a handful of years to get my hands on a pair of 550s (they're seemingly always sold out in my size!), but I finally did it—and they're just as good as I was expecting. I even got myself a pair from the New Balance x Malbon collection, so I can wear them on the golf course, too.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor New Balance does workout sneakers just as well as lifestyle ones. Case in point: the Fresh Foam X 1080v14. As the name suggests, the foam sole is extra cushy, which minimizes impact as your foot hits the pavement. Plus, that rocker sole will help keep you moving forward. Sizes: 5-13 Widths: Narrow, Standard, Wide, X-Wide ELLE editor review: 'I've kept a pair of Fresh Foam sneakers in my workout circuit for a few years now, and it only seemed natural to upgrade myself to a new pair. These have just enough cushion to give my warmups on the treadmill an extra push. These are a great running shoe for any type of runner. (After all, these are the ones that got me racking up those miles!).'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor As evidenced by brands like Maison Margiela, Chloé, and Prada, sneaker mules are on the rise—and they've become a staple in every It Girl's wardrobe this summer. This Miu Miu pair in collaboration with New Balance is inspired by the popular 530 style, infusing a vintage feel. Sizes: 34-46 Tyrese Maxey's collaboration with the brand is all about high performance. Outfitted with quality cushioning, shock absorbing N-ergy, and pods at the heel, this pair is designed to conform to and protect the wearer's foot throughout the duration of every intense workout. Widths: Standard Customer review: 'I'm totally digging this style! I usually rock the 9060s, and these are just as comfy. I've gotten tons of compliments, and they're so lightweight—perfect for workouts!' While most New Balance sneakers are composed of some type of animal leather or suede, this pair from the Fresh Foam series features a mesh upper and bio-based content. This particular style also meets New Balance's green leaf standard, which means a significant percentage of the shoe's materials are made from recycled content and renewable resources. Sizes: 5-12 Widths: Narrow, Standard, Wide, X-Wide Customer review: 'I really love these shoes for my mid- to distance runs. I have used them for a few 5K races, and they were a little heavy for that. But for my daily runs and my half marathon, I think they might be my new shoe!' In the '80s, the T500 was more commonly associated with on-court style. Now, it's the ideal pick for those seeking a go-to leisure sneaker. If you fall into the latter category, consider these as a sleek and simple option that will carry you well beyond the fall and winter seasons. Sizes: 5.5-16.5 ELLE editor review: 'I'm not usually the type of woman who sports a sleeker, more fitted shoe, but that didn't stop me from pairing these with everything. When in doubt about what shoes will go with my warm-weather outfits, these are what I reach for.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor The 574 sneaker is a decades-old classic, combining the best of functional versatility and style. And for those who aren't quite onboard with the chunky look, it's the perfect entry point. Sizes: 5-11 Widths: Standard, Wide ELLE editor review: 'These sneakers bring me back to my youth. Available in different neutral colorways, it's an unassuming option for those who don't want their sneakers to take the cake when it comes to their outfits. That said, it's an immediately recognizable style that almost gives an 'if you know, you know' type of vibe.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor The latest iteration of New Balance's FuelCell Rebel is stylish and a great option for everyday runners looking for something with some extra bounce (but not too much). Plus, they're lightweight, so you can get more miles in on each run. ELLE editor review: 'As someone who, up until recently, decidedly did not run, I just have to say that these were the shoes that finally got me to commit. There's just enough cushion with a heel-to-toe rocker that propels me forward (but not quite as much as the Fresh Foam X 1080v13). I'm light on my feet and feel like I could go for a while. That said, the most I've run (so far) is about five miles, so take that for what you will.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor If you happen to work in a more casual environment—or you simply want a go-to shoe that'll look good with just about anything—might we suggest the 327? The retro-inspired design combines the timelessness of New Balance's wedge silhouette, while prints like leopard add a refresh. ELLE editor review: 'There are moments when I love wearing my chunky New Balance sneakers and moments when I do not. When the latter happens, I reach for these. They're a cool alternative to my go-to pairs that feel a little more polished without sacrificing the comfort I love from the brand. They've easily become one of my favorite pairs of walking sneakers for long days out and about.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor As evidenced by the popularization of the PUMA Speedcat Ballet sneakers, metallic shoes have become the obsession of sneakerheads everywhere. This take on the 1960R adds just the right amount of flashiness to make a statement. ELLE editor review: 'I've seen the 1906R in a few different colorways now (our senior culture editor, Erica Gonzales, has the sold-out pair made in collaboration with GANNI!), but it took me a while to finally jump on board. That said, once I did, I never looked back—I now own three pairs, including this one. They're unsurprisingly comfortable, but add a cool, normcore vibe to my looks that I love. And, my neighbor (an undeniable sneakerhead) also clocked these the moment we passed each other in the hall, so I'd say that's a good sign. What more could you need?' —Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor Maybe you already have a pair of the Made in USA 990v6s, and you're looking to take things up a notch. Or, perhaps you're just getting into the 990 game now. Either way, New Balance's latest iteration in the series is not one to miss. The style features performance-inspired details to give it an ever-so-slightly sportier feel, like the added FuelCell cushioning in the midsole. ELLE editor review: 'As mentioned, I already own a pair of 990v5s (which are great, obviously). But sometimes, you're just ready for something a little different. These feel like a more modern take on its predecessor without skimping on the street style appeal or the comfort. Suffice to say, I'm a fan.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor A staple sneaker in Hailey Bieber and Jack Harlow's rotations, the 9060's familiar style reinterprets design facets reminiscent of the 860 and 99X styles. Sizes: 5.5-18.5 ELLE editor review: 'Of all the New Balance styles I've tried, I was the most nervous about these. They're chunkier than I'm used to, especially with that curvy sole. But let me tell you, these are the ones I truly cannot stop wearing (and these have lasted me full days of walking through New York). With jeans, trousers, shorts, what have you, the 9060s were the ones that knocked my 990v5s out of their top spot.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor The second installment of the iconic CT-Rally sneaker, included within the highly-coveted Coco Gauff US Open collection, offers the style's most cushioned fit yet. This most recent iteration comes in a sleeker, more modern form without skimping on comfort or durability. Customer review: 'I originally chose these for the style and look. Very pleased with their performance on tennis hard-courts! They are lightweight, yet sturdy, and supported my entire foot during abrupt stops/starts. High quality! New Balance, you never disappoint!'
