Japanese fashion label AURALEE, helmed by Ryota Iwai, and its collab with New Balance have been total scene-stealers on the Fashion Week circuit. Their latest drop at Paris Fashion Week, unveiling the new Autumn/Winter collection, totally captured everyone's gaze. With the reveal of their freshest sneaker collab, the CT500, it's no doubt become the latest buzz.
After launching the acclaimed 475 sneaker last season, this collaboration has now set its sights on the equally revered T500 model, giving this casual shoe a whole new spin. First designed in 1982 for the tennis courts, the New Balance T500 is making a comeback, aiming to revive the quintessential early 80s tennis shoe vibe. Previously cherished by Aimé Leon Dore, the classic silhouette has now been adopted by AURALEE in their latest collection.
AURALEE x New Balance CT500 2025 series just dropped its first look with two sick sneaker styles, crafted from top-notch materials that spell simple and sleek everyday chic. The kicks come in "Black/Brown" and "Lemon Green" — two ultra-versatile, gender-neutral color schemes. They're rocking a perforated toe for extra breathability. Plus, the photo spread showing off these sneaks highlights their awesome versatility; truly, it's a delightful surprise.
Readers keen to scoop up more details should keep their eyes peeled for updates on the official release date.
