New Balance apparently has big plans for their 509 retro this year, with more collaborations surfacing this week. This time, Dohee Kim has created two more styles for a Fall release, featuring shaggy suede and red & black colors.
The New Balance 509 originally launched in the early 2000s as a simple performance runner. The model has been stuck in their archives ever since, until late last year when South Korean designer Dohee Kim helped debut the Boston brand’s new retro run with a two-piece pack of colorways in black and plum purple. Then, during Paris Fashion Week last week, CdG showed off a new collaboration featuring the model, poising the shoe for a big year in 2025.
Barely a week after our first look at the CdG edition of the 509, Dohee Kim has unveiled their next project featuring the simple model, set for a Fall release. Once again crafting two colorways, this set drops the patent leather overlays of the previous release in favor of shaggy suede textiles. Layered on top of a wide gauge mesh, pairs come in either a bright red or dark purple and black combo. Both feature distressed midsoles to give them an aged look.

Dohee Kim’s next release of the New Balance 509 has not been given a set release date yet, but is expected to release in Fall of 2025. This time featuring shaggy suede panels in either bright red or black, pairs will likely be available through select NB retailers. No pricing information is available yet.
