The AURALEE x New Balance T500 Pack Releases Fall 2025
Published
Each Paris Fashion Week, sneakerheads are given teasers and first looks at upcoming collaborations across the industry. One that we always look forward to is the Japanese fashion brand AURALEE and their yearly New Balance project. Following up on the brand’s 990v4 pack from December, and while we await release info for the AURALEE 475 collection, they’ve previewed an upcoming NB project again.
This time, AURALEE tackles the T500, a low-cut model revived in 2023 with the help of long-time partner Aime Leon Dore. Initially released in 1982 as a performance tennis sneaker, it has found new life in the modern era as it has shifted to the lifestyle category. As with many of AURALEE’s projects with NB, the colorways on the sneakers aren’t too far from a traditional GR, but the use of premium materials elevates the T500 to a new level.

One pair opts for a simple brown, white, and gum combo featuring premium suede overlays on the mudguard, vamp, midfoot, and heel. Tumbled leather constructs the N logo in white, matching the lace set and NB T500-branded tongue tag. The other pair comes built with a premium tumbled leather upper, almost entirely seen in a single vintage lime green shade. Matching the Brown color, the N logo, lace set, and woven tongue label all come in white.
Each pair's contrast is located on the heel tab through the embroidered New Balance logo. AURALEE reserves its place on the sneaker on the left insole, while New Balance appears on the right insole. Finishing the design is the gum rubber midsole of the Brown pair and a tonal vintage look on the Lime Green iteration.
The AURALEE x New Balance T500 Pack will release in Fall 2025 through New Balance, AURALEE, and possibly via select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price has yet to be announced.
