Andrew Rizzo Despite emerging as part of a wave of new New Balance lifestyle models and featuring a familiar design language not unlike the brand’s 99X series, the New Balance 2010 never got lost in the shuffle in 2025. Strong collaborations with names like Joe Freshgoods and Kith, paired with an equally compelling slate of early inline colorways, ensured the model made a clear impression. As the page turns to 2026, it is increasingly clear that New Balance has big ambitions for the silhouette.
Here we have four never-before-seen styles expected to land during the Spring 2026 shopping season, keeping that momentum firmly intact. Leading the group is a clean black, white, and grey colorway reminiscent of “core” looks from models like the 990v6, a sensible way for New Balance to continue drawing a line back to its Made in USA heritage. Next up is a much bolder option featuring black and soft pink nubuck overlays, tinted mesh, and hot pink ABZORB SBS pods set within a black midsole. Perhaps the most intriguing of the quartet is a black pair with pink accents that introduces glossy black patent leather on the heel, mudguard, and toe, marking the first time that material has appeared on the 2010. Rounding things out is a monochromatic, militaristic green style that calls to mind WTAPS’ collaboration from October 2025.
No concrete release dates have been announced for any of these four colorways, but all are currently expected to arrive in Spring or Summer 2026. See official images below if your interest is piqued.
