FAQs

Are these shoes intended for basketball?

No, while the design is inspired by 1980s basketball culture, they are lifestyle trainers designed for everyday casual wear.

How does the fit compare to other New Balance models?

The 950 features a roomy toe box, which may feel more spacious than more performance-oriented athletic models.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is strongly recommended not to machine wash the 950 as the wool construction and structured elements can be damaged by high-heat cycles and agitation.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 950 is designed as a unisex product suitable for all adults.

What should I do if the wool gets wet?

Pat the shoes with a dry cloth to remove excess moisture and let them air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid radiators or direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the white wool surface

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt particles before attempting spot cleaning.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree to help the material recover its shape when the shoes are not being worn.

Staining on the upper material

Apply a very small amount of wool-safe detergent mixed with water; dab gently rather than scrubbing to avoid damaging the wool fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic retro basketball-inspired aesthetic
  • Roomy toe box design increases comfort
  • High-quality wool material provides a unique visual and tactile experience
  • Versatile unisex design suitable for various casual outfits

Cons

  • Wool material requires specific maintenance and cleaning

  • Limited to white colorway which requires frequent care to stay clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 950 trainers maintain their shape and material quality, proper care is essential:

  1. Initial Setup: Ensure you have the correct UK sizing before wear; the roomy toe box means you should stick to your standard size for the best fit.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the wool upper, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently spot clean with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the structure of the toe box when not in use.
  4. Protection: Consider using a fabric-safe water repellent spray designed for wool to protect against light moisture and stains.
