AURALEE Teases the New Balance T500 For FW25

0

Japanese fashion label AURALEE has been on a tear with their New Balance collaborations for the past few years. This week during their Paris runway show, the label showed off another project coming later this year, two colors of the T500 trainer.

The relationship between AURALEE and New Balance grows stronger with each seasonal collection from the Japanese brand. Every runway show for the past few years has teased us with a fresh release from the Boston footwear maker, usually showing us whats in store nearly a year ahead of the official release. Currently, we are still waiting on their 475 pack to hit shelves, but this week they’ve already shown off whats next.

The next-in-line project from AURALEE and New Balance will highlight the T500 trainer as their FW25 footwear. Originally released in 1982 as a performance tennis shoe, the silhouette is currently on a retro from NB as a simple, and affordable option with classic appeal. The upper does not feature prominent complicated patterns, making the T500 a timeless look. AURALEE’s interpretation will come in two colorways, white and brown, both featuring a suede construction with some smooth leather accents.

AURALEE X NEW BALANCE T500 RELEASE INFORMATION

There is no official release information yet for the next AURALEE x New Balance sneaker release, though this project is expected to release in Fall/Winter 2025. Featuring the T500 in brown and white colorways, pairs will be available from both partners. The price tag for this model is currently unknown.

0

HOKA has taken over the world of athleisure footwear in the last few years. Their high-end running shoes have permeated into every day walking styles, and now, they are joining in on the formal sneaker trend with the Speed Loafer.

HOKA exploded onto the footwear scene several years ago, introducing a new era of data and science-driven footwear design. Founded in France in 2009 by former Salmon employees, the original goal was to craft a performance shoe for faster downhill running. Their use of excessive cushioning and stability made them popular with ultramarathon runners, before disseminating to the wider running world thanks largely to their lightweight cushioning.

Now, HOKA offers a wide variety of shoes for road running, trail running, and race running, as well as recovery slides. This year, they are taking their first steps into non-performance shoes with the new Speed Loafer. The brand new model is an interesting twist for the French brand, taking the upper from a loafer and applying it to the chunky and intricate midsole tooling from the SpeedGoat 5. Dressed in all black, other details include suede mudguards, custom “speed” tassels at the tongue, and a full Vibram outsole.

HOKA SPEED LOAFER RELEASE INFORMATION

HOKA has not yet announced a set date for the release of their new loafer/running shoe hybrid, but currently have the Speed Loafer listed as “coming soon” on their website. The hybrid model will be available direct from the French brand for $185.
