Introduced in 2021, the New Balance 530 'White Silver Natural Indigo' features a white leather and mesh upper with natural indigo accents. Praised for its breathability due to mesh zones and ventilation gaps, it offers a balance of retro aesthetics and modern comfort. The shoe has a durable suede construction, a firm yet comfortable EVA midsole enhanced with ENCAP and ABZORB cushioning, and provides excellent heel cushioning. It's noted for its stability and flexibility, making it ideal for those valuing a retro vibe with contemporary functionality. While not suited for cold weather and less grippy than some alternatives, its overall value, lightweight design, and chunky style make it a popular choice.
