FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for running or athletic performance?
The New Balance 530 Prosperity Be The Prize is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. While it features ABZORB cushioning, it is not engineered for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How does the sizing run for this model?
Generally, New Balance 530 models run true to size. However, it's always recommended to check specific size guides or try them on if possible, especially given this is a collaborative release.
What makes the Salehe Bembury collaboration special?
This collaboration is special due to Salehe Bembury's reputation in luxury streetwear and his unique design aesthetic. The specific colorway and material choices in this version are exclusive to this partnership.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, particularly the leather overlays and the ABZORB cushioning, and may cause colors to run.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance. It helps to absorb impact forces, offering comfort and support for the wearer.
How should I care for the leather and nubuck parts?
Use a suede brush for nubuck to maintain its texture and remove light dirt. For leather, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using water directly on nubuck and ensure both materials are dried naturally away from heat.
Troubleshooting
Color transfer from purple outsole to light-colored socks.
This can sometimes occur with new, brightly colored outsoles. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially. If it persists, ensure the outsole is clean and dry before wearing.
Leather overlays feel stiff initially.
New leather can be stiff. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which can damage the leather.
Mesh area shows dirt easily.
Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap is recommended. For deeper cleaning, follow the care instructions for the mesh upper.
