In line with the legacy of the trail-running models such as the iconic 574, New Balance introduces the 501 that embodies a simplistic design. The shoe's construction showcases a vintage-inspired look, combining a mesh upper adorned with suede accents on the trademark 'N' branding. Moreover, the addition of a terry cloth sockliner ensures enhanced comfort. Reminiscent of the running shoes popular during the explosive jogging trend of the 80s, the 501 boasts a rippled sole for a classic aesthetic.
