New Balance is releasing the 750 Outfield Angora, a retro tennis silhouette in a soft purple makeup that lands right as the US Open gets going.
New Balance has been building shoes out of Boston since 1906, and its court models have always sat slightly outside the conversation compared to the 990 and 574 running lineage. The 750 pulls from ’70s and ’80s court design, with a canvas upper, toe and heel caps, side “N” logos, and a leather backtab. The midsole is where it stops being a straight period piece, using a chunky, almost platform bottom with herringbone traction underneath.
Worth noting that New Balance has used the 750 name before on both performance runners and court shoes, so this is a name being repurposed rather than a one-to-one retro of a specific pair.
I think this proves how much of the current tennis-shoe wave is about silhouette rather than sport. New Balance has real performance credibility in tennis through Coco Gauff, but the 750 is not aimed at anyone stepping onto a court. It is aimed at the buyer who made the 550 a phenomenon, and at $100 it sits under most of what the larger brands are putting into that lane. A white and navy version is also on the calendar, with more colorways expected to trickle out through Fall 2026. See what else is landing in our releases feed.
Release details: August 21, 2026. $100. Style code U7507JH.
Where to buy: the New Balance website and select New Balance retailers.
