New Balance: Which Model Should You Choose? 530, 9060, 2002R, 1906R, or 327

New Balance is one of the most sought-after sneaker brands right now. But with models like the 530, 9060, 2002R, 1906R, and 327, it’s not always easy to know which one to choose. Here’s our quick guide to help you pick the model that’s right for you.

The New Balance 530: the best-seller with a retro running look

With its open-mesh upper, silver-accented panels, and sculpted sole, the New Balance 530 is the ultimate go-to sneaker. It comes in soft shades, such as off-white and beige, and pairs just as well with jeans as it does with a skirt or wide-leg pants.

It’s also available for kids, for example in white and dusty pink for girls or in light gray for boys.

The New Balance 9060: the chunky sneaker

If you like bulkier silhouettes, the New Balance 9060 is perfect for you. Its thick, sculpted sole gives it a decidedly trendy look, which we love to pair with wide-leg pants or a dress to add an edgy twist to an otherwise classic outfit.

The New Balance 2002R and 1906R: the spirit of technical running

More technical in style, the 2002 and the 1906R draw inspiration from running shoes, with their combination of materials and intricate details. The 1906R, for example, features a white and silver color scheme accented with touches of turquoise.

The New Balance 327: Bold Retro Style

Instantly recognizable with its large “N” logo and lugged sole that wraps around the back of the heel, the New Balance 327 adds a vintage touch to your everyday outfits.
