New Balance is gearing up for an exciting year in 2025, especially with the revival of their 509 retro model. Originally introduced in the early 2000s as a performance runner, the 509 has seen a resurgence in popularity, attributed in part to collaborations with notable designers. Recently, South Korean designer Dohee Kim has crafted two new styles of the 509, set to release in Fall 2025, featuring shaggy suede in vibrant red and classic black colors.
This release follows last year’s successful debut of the 509, which included a two-piece pack of colorways in black and plum purple, paving the way for further collaborations such as the one showcased at Paris Fashion Week by CdG. The latest models maintain the simple aesthetic but now feature a textured finish with shaggy suede panels layered over wide gauge mesh.
Both upcoming colorways will have aged-looking distressed midsoles, adding a vintage appeal to the modern design. While specific pricing details are still under wraps, sneaker enthusiasts eagerly await these releases that promise to enhance the New Balance collection.
Fans can keep an eye on these developments through various social media platforms, as well as through JustFreshKicks, for updates on release dates and additional sneaker news.
