Our verdict
The New Balance 505 is one of the cleanest silhouettes in the NB Numeric line that is constructed with a sleek, fast-forward-looking profile. Built as a skate shoe, it embodies functional features from its cup sole that offers to cushion and support, an extended layer on the outer side for protection, to its long-lasting rubber outsole for stability. All these are hidden under its classically appealing, simply-designed upper.

New Balance 505 belongs to the New Balance Numeric, a segment that focuses primarily on skate-specific shoes. This particular silhouette is a reflection of the 1970s and 1980s court classic which offers the traditional Blucher shoe construction.
It was in 2013 that New Balance stepped into the skateboarding scene and rounded up some of the notable riders around the world to form skate-specialized sneakers under the NB Numeric line.
A couple of years later, as skate shoes became more refined to address the specific concerns of riders, NB introduced more low-top sneakers such as the New Balance 505 with improved side panel protection and a cupsole cushioning feature.
