By perfectly balancing the dad-shoe look with edgy touches, New Balance has delivered a worthy assortment of sneakers for anyone looking to establish their inner and outer cool during the warmest months of the year. Several of these models have served mightily as versatile canvases for must-have collaborations. Others have gained relevance through ironic interest. But regardless of the hype, we’re here to remind you that readily-available styles can serve the same fashion-forward purpose.

Reborn silhouettes like the New Balance 580 and 610T have captured that trail-ready look, yearning to match with a pair of baggy cargos. The NB Numeric line has steadily received co-signs from skaters. Even hoopers are digging the TWO WXY V3, a silhouette that just so happens to have led Jamal Murray to his first NBA Championship.

Whether or not you’re aware of the nine options that we hand-picked (does the 574 really need another introduction?), each deserves a spot in any footwear rotation this summer. Check out our favorite picks just ahead, all available at newbalance.com right now

Brought out of the archive back in 2022, the New Balance 580 – which originally debuted back in 1996 – is not only an important piece of the brand’s history but also sneaker culture as a whole. Rising to prominence across Japan, the model is nothing short of a cult classic. And though previously overlooked here in the states, the 580’s recent return allows everyone another chance to sing its well-deserved praises.

Built for all off-road excursions, the New Balance 610T has found a new life on urban playgrounds. A product of the 2000s, the trail-inspired design couples reliable, rugged traction with New Balance-approved comfort. The array of panels up-top don’t only allow the brand to offer lighter trail shoes than in the past, but also enable a versatile catalog of color schemes for all style preferences.

Headlined by Jamal Murray’s NBA Finals run, New Balance’s premier on-court tooling has enjoyed the brand’s most detailed treatment yet. Infused with an expansive slate of color blockings and inaugural collaborations, the TWO WXY V3 packs an energy-returning punch through a FuelCell midsole and ABZORB cushioning system. Inspired by the split-second decisions that fire off the brain’s synapses, a herringbone traction pattern underfoot keeps your movements sharp and grounded while a plush textile upper keeps you cool for a summer’s worth of hoop sessions.
