New Balance is expanding its Australian retail footprint with new stores in Melbourne and Sydney, both offering exclusive access to the Salehe Bembury 530 collaboration.

Now sold out online, these are the only New Balance stores in Australia to stock the limited-edition release.

Customers also have the opportunity to purchase from the coveted Up There x 860v2 ‘2000’ collaboration, also exclusive to the two new stores. 

Both stores, located in Highpoint Shopping Centre in Melbourne and Broadway Shopping Centre in Sydney, mark a continued investment in New Balance’s physical retail presence in Australia.

In Melbourne, Highpoint joins Melbourne Central and Chadstone, while in Sydney, the new Broadway store adds to the Bondi Junction and Galeries line-up.

New Balance Asia Pacific direct-to-customer director, Jonathan Clark said, “We know New Balance fans are all across the country, so we’re excited to open new stores in two vibrant suburbs across Melbourne and Sydney where sneakerheads can shop the latest styles. With exclusive releases like the 530 Salehe Bembury collaboration, we’re thrilled to keep bringing fresh, authentic experiences to our growing New Balance community.”

Both stores carry a selection of New Balance’s lifestyle and performance products, including the Fresh Foam and FuelCell running range, lifestyle favourites and carefully curated ath-leisure.
