New Balance Silos Are The Perfect Back-To-School Classic

Kick off the new school term in style because nothing says you’re clued up quite like a pristine pair of New Balance trainers. From vintage vibes with the classic 550s to futuristic feels with the modern 9060s, New Balance is the brand for any student mixing style and sensibility this semester.

The Revival of Retro 550

The New Balance 550 didn’t just pop up overnight – it’s a design that’s been turning ankles since 1989. Crafted by the “godfather of dad shoes,” Steven Smith, this trainer marries vintage allure with a cool, low-top cut. With big shoutouts from Aimé Leon Dore and Jack Harlow, the 550s have smoothly skated back into the ‘Most Popular’ category.

9060: The Future of Footwear

First seen in Joe Freshgoods’ “Inside Voices” collection, the New Balance 9060 is the future in shoe form. Dripping with Boston brand heritage yet sporting a futuristic, visible tech look and cushy ABZORB system, it’s like a walk down memory lane – if that lane was in a sci-fi flick. Whether you’re rocking the “Sea Salt” shades or grabbing eyes with deep navy, the 9060 is your ticket to next-level style this Autumn.

The 1906R’s Triumphant Return

Taking a page from its big brother, the wildly popular 2002R, the 1906R’s reemergence was a long time coming but worth the wait. It’s already teamed up with the giants of streetwear and fashion: COMME des GARÇONS HOMME, AURALEE, and Aimé Leon Dore, for starters. If they’re giving it the nod, you know it’s a top pick for stepping into the new school year.

Sneaker Styling 101

Pair your 550s with high-waisted, straight-leg jeans and a graphic tee for that laid-back, effortlessly cool look. For a bolder statement, try the 9060s with tapered trousers and a bomber jacket. And remember mates: a sneaker is only as fresh as the fit it completes. Follow our style guide for more killer combos!

Comfort Meets Cool

New Balance isn’t just about the look; they’ve got the comfort game on lock too. Whether you’re darting between classes or strutting through the quad, these kicks will feel like walking on air all day. Plus, these trainers fit everyone like a dream, moulding to your feet for that perfect, personalised stride.
