126 of 155 New Balance pairs sell under retail, led by a $41 550
The biggest move this week: the 530 “Polka Dots” fell 44% to $38 in a size 9. Every size of the 990v6 “Salmon” is under retail.
126 of the 155 most-listed men's New Balance pairs I check sell under retail in at least one size from 8 to 12. The deepest cut against retail is the Aimé Leon Dore x 550 “Warm Sand”: $41 in a size 9, $89 under its $130 retail.
Here are the eight biggest discounts, cheapest pair first in each line. Most of them didn't move this week, so this is a steady picture rather than a flash sale.
The list
- Aimé Leon Dore x 550 “Warm Sand”: $41 in a size 9, retail $130, $89 under. All nine sizes from 8 to 12 are under retail, and a 10 is $45.
- 990v6 “Salmon”: $67 in a size 8.5, retail $200, $133 under. That's the biggest dollar gap on this list. Every size is under retail, and a 10 fell $18 this week to $94.
- 550 “Lakers Pack - Infinity Blue”: $37 in a size 11.5, retail $110, $73 under. Skip the 12: it's $43 over retail at $153.
- 650R “White”: $49 in a size 9, retail $140, $91 under. A 10.5 is close behind at $57.
- Aimé Leon Dore x 650R “Green”: $58 in sizes 9, 10 and 11, retail $165, $107 under. Three sizes at the same low price, which is rare on this list.
- 530 “White Silver Metallic Polka Dots”: $38 in a size 9, retail $100, $62 under. It dropped $30 in a week, from $68. That's one size only: only three sizes are under retail at all, and a 10 is $120.
- Men's Joe Freshgoods x 2002R “Conversations Amongst Us”: $60 in a size 8, retail $150, $90 under. An 8.5 is $70, and two sizes sell over retail.
- 998 “Grey Day 2023 - Grey Silver”: $79 in a size 11.5, retail $185, $106 under. Every size is under retail, and the rest run $103 to $128.
My take
If you wear a 9, this is a good week: four of these eight pairs are cheapest in your size. If you wear a 10, the Aimé Leon Dore 650R at $58 and the “Warm Sand” at $45 are the ones I'd look at first.
The rest of the brand, and every other pair priced below retail, is on everything under retail.
