Passed down. Played back.

Some movements feel new. Others feel familiar, as if they've been a part of us for much longer than we realize. The RC56 is inspired by silent rituals passed down from generation to generation – those subtle habits, gestures, and instincts that shape how we move through the world.

Developed jointly by Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance, the RC56 unites the best of both worlds: a silhouette born from carefully selected archival inspirations, reassembled and reinterpreted for the present day. What once existed in historical sketches, samples, and forgotten details is transformed here into something new. Modern in its execution, timeless in its character.

Every line, every choice of material, and every proportion reflects this connection between tradition and innovation. Contemporary technology ensures lightness, precision, and all-day comfort, while classic New Balance DNA stands for groundedness, authenticity, and an unmistakable heritage.

Available in three colorways – grey, burgundy, and blue – the RC56 offers a palette that combines modern versatility with nostalgic depth. More than just a shoe, the RC56 is a link between past and present.

He reminds us that style evolves, but instinct remains. Carry the next chapter of a tradition. Go with whatever comes before you.
