About New Balance CT300
New Balance CT300
The letters before the number do the work at New Balance. CT stands for court, which immediately tells you where this model comes from: the tennis court, not the track where the brand made its name.
The perforations are diamond-shaped, not round
Look closely at the side panel and you see the difference with almost every other court sneaker. The perforations are not round but diamond-shaped, and they sit in clusters rather than in a neat row. On a suede upper that creates a relief you feel before you see — a detail that distinguishes the model without asking for attention.
The brand is on the sole
The second peculiar detail sits below the separation line. On the side of the midsole the wordmark new balance is in relief, together with the N. That’s unusual: most brands leave their sole blank and put their name on the upper. Here the branding continues into the rubber.
Low, and that’s the point
The sole is flat and thin, with no visible cushioning or stack height. That comes straight from court sport: on a court you want to feel where you are and be able to push off laterally without foam in between. Where the New Balance 327 exaggerates its seventies origin with an oversized N and a protruding sole, the CT300 does the opposite: everything stays within the lines.
Made in UK
Some of the versions are made in England, identifiable by the MiUK designation. At New Balance that’s not a marketing stamp but a production location with its own reputation, and it explains why some versions are noticeably higher in material and finish than others. A model that behaves itself.
