The “509” reinterprets New Balance’s 2000s-era running shoes as refined fashion items. Designed to seamlessly fit into various everyday settings, this lifestyle model features a simple, slim upper paired with an ABZORB midsole providing outstanding cushioning support. The collaboration model with COMME des GARÇONS HOMME takes a minimalist approach by stripping away select upper components for a special, pared-down design. Premium synthetic materials are rendered in a tonal palette of grey and white, creating a sleek finish. Details such as the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME logo on the tongue, cobranded logo on the insole, and a custom shoebox embody the exclusivity of this collaboration.
