Description Originally released in 1982, the T500 was designed to bring superior quality to a versatile on-court style. While the reintroduced T500 is designed more for leisure than competition, everything that made the T500 a great tennis shoe then, makes it a timeless classic now. The upper features pigskin suede and nubuck construction and perforated toebox detailing, for a premium take on the familiar look. The midsole offers an understated hint of 1980s tech, that stands out from the vulcanized soles of older court models. The design is rounded out with the elegant simplicity of a predominantly white colorway, suitable for any situation and any surface.
