FAQs
Is the New Balance 950 suitable for sports?
While the design is inspired by basketball archives, the 950 is intended for casual lifestyle wear and does not feature technical performance specifications required for competitive sports.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Always use a specialized suede brush or a dry cloth to gently clean these areas. Avoid getting water directly onto the suede as it can damage the texture.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry environment. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods, as this may cause discoloration of the white and cream components.
Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?
No, you should never place your leather and suede New Balance shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and water can permanently damage the materials and adhesives.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The New Balance 950 typically follows standard sizing for the brand; it is recommended to order your usual size for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp soft cloth to buff out surface-level marks.
Suede appears matted or dusty
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap and lift away fine dirt particles.
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with high-quality leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shoe's shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the New Balance 950 is a low-top model, it pairs naturally with ankle or no-show socks to maintain the minimalist look. To keep your sneakers in pristine condition, avoid machine washing or drying. For the leather portions, use a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner to wipe away surface debris. For the suede accents, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust and dirt, moving in the direction of the nap. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather and suede from yellowing or fading over time. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally if they become damp.
