New Balance is doubling down on the low-profile footwear trend with the quiet rollout of its latest silhouette, Gator Run.
The Gator Run draws its aesthetic cues from the New Balance T500. Promising viability on both the streets and the trails, the shoe features a lifestyle-friendly upper with a rugged sole unit that’s suitable for hiking and rougher terrain. This time, the upper is reimagined with premium materials, including a striking “Shadow Red” crocodile skin texture and also a sleek, triple-black colorway. Built for performance and style, the Gator Run is equipped with rubber outsole with treads. This dual-purpose design integrates both trail and road engineering, ensuring a smooth transition between different terrains.
The New Balance Gator Run is already available at European retailers, with a broader global release expected via New Balance’s webstore during the Spring 2026 season.
