Crisscross traction patterns ensure multi directional security

The New Balance CT500DB is a well-crafted homage to the original 1982 releasemodernized, yet true to the spirit of tennis heritage. Featuring a premium upper made from pigskin suede and soft nubuck leather, it offers not only a refined feel but also the perfect blend of retro aesthetics and everyday wearability. The perforated toe box adds subtle breathability and gives the clean design an extra layer of character. A rubber midsole nods to early '80s tech, delivering stable, lightweight cushioning with every step. Unlike many classic court sneakers, this one ditches the vulcanized sole in favor of a midsole that brings more structure and comfort to your stride. The CT500DB doesnt scream for attentionbut thats exactly what makes it so strong. Whether paired with jeans, tailored trousers, or shorts, this sneaker brings style, history, and substance to your rotation.

The shape supports movement throughout long hours
