Alluding to the 530 lineage, New Balance's 509 is a retro runner with contemporary lifestyle appeal. The upper is constructed from porous black mesh uppers and is angularly robed in suede overlays. Underfoot, C-CAP and ABZORB cushioning technology keeps things comfortable, whereas reflective 'N' logos morph across the sidewalls to finish evoking the New York label's constant relationship with improved motion. | These comfortable shoes are inspired by 2000s' running styles.
