FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology from New Balance that absorbs shock and provides a responsive feel, enhancing comfort during wear.
How do I clean the nubuck leather parts?
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a soft brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. Avoid using water directly on nubuck.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While the 530 series has roots in running, this particular collaborative model is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. For serious running, consider New Balance's dedicated performance running shoe lines.
What does the 'Prosperity Be The Prize' name signify?
This name is part of the collaboration's theme with Salehe Bembury, emphasizing a positive and aspirational message related to success and achievement.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and dusty-yellow nubuck leather overlays for support and style.
How does this shoe fit compared to other New Balance models?
The fit can vary. Generally, the 530 series offers a comfortable, standard fit. It's recommended to consult New Balance's size guide or try them on if possible, especially given this is a specific collaborative release.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Creasing on leather overlays
Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather and nubuck. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and store shoes with shoe trees or by stuffing them with paper.
Color transfer from outsole
Some newer rubber outsoles can exhibit slight color transfer onto lighter surfaces, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials until the outsole is seasoned.
