New Balance has already started the process of reviving their 2010s 509 running shoe this year. After teasing several collaborations in January, this week we have an official look at a new “Aurora Borealis” pack, coming soon.
New Balance’s 509 silhouette first arrived in the early 2010s, engineered as a high-tech running shoe for its time. Since then, the model’s sleek but plain aesthetics have firmly planted in the ‘dad shoe’ world. The model had its first modern release late last year in collaboration with Korean designer Do Hee Kim, who will issue two more styles this year. Additionally, CdG Homme teased their version of the tech runner during a runway show back in January.
This week, we have an early look at a new special-edition release of the 509 for New Balance’s in-line collection. Dressed in two colorways, each pair is seemingly inspired by the Aurora Borealis, using a color-shifting, metallic finish to achieve the same effect. Both pairs feature a jet black mesh base layer and midsole, mimicking the inky darkness of the night sky. One pair adds a mix of purple and blue tones to the shoes’ overlays, while the second fuses lime green and blue into its swooping layers.

With options in purple/blue and green/blue, pairs will likely be available from both New Balance’s official channels and select retailers. No pricing information is available yet.
