Influenced by mid-80s runners, the New Balance 565 proves its pedigree through retro elements and a classic profile. This 'Slate Blue' edition has been created with a paneled suede upper, a padded mesh tongue and a ridged TPU heel stabilizer. Iconic trademarks seen throughout and a midfoot 'N' patch heighten brand awareness. A standard EVA midsole cushioning the solid rubber outsole helps absorb shock.
