Fashion Weeks are all about the wait. Runways have always been for previews of upcoming collections, tempting buyers to stock future seasons. But in the years since high fashion brands started adding major sneaker collabs to their catwalk shows, sneakerheads used to shock drops have grown impatient, anxiously waiting highly anticipated silhouettes and colorways.
After debuting the shoes at Paris Fashion Week for its Fall/Winter 2025 campaign, the fall is finally here, and we have a release date for the AURALEE x New Balance T500 pack. Featuring two colorways of New Balance's 1982 performance tennis shoe turned retro lifestyle model, the pack keeps things simple in brown suede and ivory leather.
The brown pair adds premium soft chocolate suede to the toe, tongue, side, and heel panels, with mesh in the exact same shade of brown filling in the rest of the upper. Pebbled leather is added to the cream N logo on the side and the light brown heel tab. A gum brown midsole completes the earth tone medley.
An equally subtle colorway with equally premium materials, the ivory pair is off-white all over, with premium leather covering the entire upper, and the same cream-colored pebbled leather N logo as the brown pair. The laces and tongue logo are also cream, but the midsole blends in with the upper in ivory. Both shoes feature AURALEE branding on the insole and a T500 tongue label, but like most of AURALEE’s work, the branding is minimal.
The AURALEE x New Balance T500 Pack will be released October 27, 2025 through AURALEE, New Balance, and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is still TBD. For all the freshest news on high-fashion sneaker collabs, don’t forget to download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
