Name: New Balance RC56 “Blue Gemstone”
Colorway: Blue Gemstone/Grey
SKU: URC56FFA
MSRP: TBD
Release Date: November 2025
Where to Buy: New Balance

Following its collaborative debut with Aimé Leon Dore, the New Balance RC56 silhouette is making a bold entrance into the general release lineup with the striking “Blue Gemstone” colorway. This release solidifies the RC56’s role as a contemporary fusion of retro aesthetics and cutting-edge performance tech, inspired by cross-country runners of the early 2000s.

The sneaker is a true visual gem, featuring a dark base complemented by layered overlays in rich, jewel-toned blues. The combination of black and varying shades of “Blue Gemstone” on the upper gives the shoe a dynamic, premium appearance. The minimalist, sleek form of the silhouette is emphasized by its multi-material construction, using leather accents over the diamond-knit mesh base.

Performance remains at the core of the RC56. The low-profile runner is built with responsive FuelCell midsole cushioning and internal stability features, ensuring the shoe is ready for both high-speed activity and all-day casual wear. The clean look and vibrant hue make the “Blue Gemstone” an ideal statement piece for the holiday season. The New Balance RC56 “Blue Gemstone” is expected to be available directly on the New Balance website in November 2025.
