You’ll likely be aware that, when it comes to footwear, New Balance are one of our favourite brands and the guys at Laced have got one of the finest lineups of New Balance sneakers you’re likely to find anywhere on the web. Laced is a new one on our radar here at The Coolector but having witnessed the calibre of their sneakers lining their digital shelves, they’re definitely going to be one of our first ports of call whenever we’re after a new pair of sneakers. Check out our pick of 8 of the best classic New Balance sneakers on offer from Laced below:


NEW BALANCE 2002R X THE BASEMENT OLIVE BLACK

A luxurious suede olive-toned base is layered with tonal green overlays to deliver the revived noughties runner with understated depth. Contrasting white ‘N’ detailing decorates the pair and works alongside the New Balance branding on the tongue and ‘2002R’ tab that sits on its side. A fave of ours.

NEW BALANCE 550 WHITE MINT GREEN

This great-looking pair of New Balance 550 White Mint Green sneakers provides a refreshing colourway in cool shades of mint green and fresh white. The sneaker offers top-notch support with its premium upper, with perforated panels of layered white leather running across the upper alongside smooth white leather around the toe and to the heel.

NEW BALANCE 650R X AIME LEON DORE GREY

After reviving the New Balance brand in 2020, Aime Leon Dore, an NYC-based fashion brand, has returned to expand the 650 silhouette. Like past versions from the duo, the New Balance 650R x Aime Leon Dore Grey boasts a creamy mesh upper and midsole for a striking aesthetic.

NEW BALANCE RC30 X DONALD GLOVER GOLDEN HOUR

The collab between New Balance RC30 x Donald Glover Golden Hour introduces a new model inspired by vintage racing silhouettes. Designed by music icon “Childish Gambino”, its deep orange nylon base is decorated with matching brushed suede overlays, whilst a contrasting cream-toned leather ‘N’ adds a subtle element of branding to the shoe.

NEW BALANCE CASABLANCA XC72 YELLOW

New Balance joined forces with clothing label Casablanca to deliver another ace sneaker, taking inspiration from the New Balance 237 and New Balance 327 silhouettes. The duo prove they are a force to be reckoned with in the sneaker world, delivering a bold yellow colourway that attracts attention. 

NEW BALANCE 550 WHITE MULTI

Back in 1989, New Balance unleashed the 550 silhouette as a supremely functional on-court basketball shoe. Then, over 30 years later, and collabs from the likes or Aimé Leon Dore have ensured a surge in demand for the shoe, and the latest New Balance 550 White Multi is next in line for a spot in your sneaker lineup.

JJJJOUND X NEW BALANCE 990V3 KHAKI

Another collaboration from JJJJound and New Balance, the JJJJound x New Balance 990v3 Khaki follows on from the success of 2020’s capsule. This time, the 990v3 is presented in an earthy green hue, with supple suede panels complemented by breathable mesh for enhanced ventilation and optimised comfort.

SNS X NEW BALANCE 991 PERFORATED PACK YELLOW BLUE

This super-cool retro SNS x New Balance 991 Perforated Pack Yellow Blue sneaker shows off vibrant hues of yellow and blue, perfect for summer on the streets or courts or for brightening up those colder days. The upper comes constructed of soft blue nubuck, which wraps around the toe, while the blue nubuck is repeated for the main heel panel running around the rear sides.
