The 7 best New Balance trainers to buy right now

Once upon a time, New Balance was the trainer of choice for dads at barbecues and people who actually run for fun. Now? They’re a fashion staple, seen on everyone from Emily Ratajkowski to Taylor Swift.

With a history stretching back to 1906 and a reputation for trainers that feel like walking on clouds, it’s no wonder they’ve become the shoe of the moment. Here are the best New Balance trainers to get your hands on.

1 New Balance 530: the ultimate "dad trainer" with a retro edge.

2 New Balance 574: the OG. A perfect mix of fashion and function.

3 New Balance 9060: bold, oversized, and ridiculously trendy. Perfect for those who like their trainers chunky enough to double as a personality trait.
