The New Balance 530 Moonbeam is a retro running shoe that works just as well as a lifestyle shoe. This sneaker features Y2K-era tech details and a chunky, vintage feel with every stride.


This low-top running sneaker in an understated, subtle colorway begins with an upper of creamy Moonbeam-colored lightweight, breathable mesh as its base. Tonal leather overlays circle across the upper, layering over each other. Perforations at the toe cap and side panel help enhance the comfort afforded by breathability. Tonal rope laces cross over a cream-colored mesh tongue for a secure fit. A beige pull tab at the heel with cream-colored stripes helps ease on and off this pair of kicks. An ABZORB midsole in different shades of cream provides springy cushioning, while a cream-colored and tan rubber outsole offers flexible grip and impact absorption.


Our favorite aspect of this elegant, monochromatic shoe is the subtle 530 branding that courses across an overlay at the lateral collar, thus locking in the classic look.
