DescriptionThe ct500 was originally released in 1982 and was designed to bring superior quality to versatile course style. Although the relaunched ct500 is more suitable for leisure than competition, all the features that made the ct500 a great pair of tennis shoes at the time now make it an eternal classic. The upper is made of pigskin suede and matte leather construction and perforated toe details, giving a sophisticated feel to a familiar appearance. The rubber midsole underlies 1980s technology and is completely different from the cured soles of older court shoes, with a herringbone outsole pattern with a pivot circle, a knitted tongue label, and the word "new balance" printed on the heel.
