New Balance 520 sneakers featuring a black and gold color scheme. - Brand: New Balance - Model: 520 - Color: Black/Gold - Sole Material: Rubber Thank you for viewing. I purchased these here before, but I have kept them in storage, having hardly worn them. The previous seller also mentioned they were hardly worn, so there is no wear on the soles. They felt softer to wear compared to the 996! Please understand that these are used items.
