Matt Varga It’s a good time to be in the New Balance universe. On top of product launches like the Cooper Flagg New Balance Hesi Low and enduring Action Bronson New Balance partnership, more under-the-hood developments like the revamp and opening of two new NYC retail spaces make it a prolific period for the Boston brand. Given our proximity to those aforementioned locations, we were able to get a sneak peek of what the brand has on the way for the coming seasons, including two fresh colorways each for the New Balance ABZORB 2010 and ABZORB 2000.
We’ll start with the former, partially owing to its debut earlier in the year, thus making it further along in its run. On display at the Big Apple showcase were two expressive variations on the silhouette; a black/grey/purple and a black/olive/green. Taken together, it’s a development where the latest “99x” style silhouette is branching beyond the usual neutral NB fare, notable for both the spots in which these accent shades appear for the former nd an unexpected overall color combo for the latter (almost reminding of the Queens rapper’s work.)
Then to the New Balance ABZORB 2000. A lime green clocks in as understandable given the “Baby Blue” and “Pearl Pink” looks we’ve seen before, but the addition of black anchoring around the cushioning pods and dotted throughout the body does a lot to add more menace to the shoe. To round out this preview quartet, a “Metallic Silver” brings the ABZORB 2000 back to the NB fold, anchored by timeless black mesh.
Release information for these four shoes is scant at the moment, but you can comfortably expect these pairs to touch down for Holiday 2025 / Spring 2026.
