The Jack Harlow x New Balance T500 “Olmsted” released September 4, 2026 for $130 at New Balance and select retailers, after an early drop at a free pop-up in Louisville’s Cherokee Park on August 28. The pair comes in an all-brown “Black Coffee” colorway.
Harlow signed with New Balance in 2022, and his first shoe with the brand was the 1906R “Rose Runner” in 2024, followed by a take on the 442 indoor soccer shoe. For his next project the Louisville native picked the T500. Originally released in 1982 as a premium tennis sneaker, the model returned in 2023 through an Aimé Leon Dore collaboration, and AURALEE released its own pairs in 2025. The “Olmsted” name honors Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect behind New York’s Central Park and Louisville’s park system, where Harlow grew up.
Harlow’s version dresses the tennis classic in “Black Coffee” brown across a crinkled synthetic leather upper and a matching midsole. The shoe skips the usual tongue tag, and the lining is real pigskin leather, a contrast with the faux outer shell. More from the brand lives in the New Balance archive.
