As the New Balance 9060 continues to slow its release cadence, the New Balance 2000 is just starting to heat up. New Balance’s latest mainline chunky model keeps the pipeline moving into 2026, this time checking off an essential “Black/Silver Metallic” look that should slot effortlessly into plenty of rotations.

This is color formula embraced by just about every tech-leaning New Balance silhouette at some point, namely staples like the 1906R and 2002R. The upper and midsole lay the foundation in black, energized by Silver Metallic hits across the ABZORB SBS pods and synthetic underlays.

The New Balance 2000 “Black/Silver Metallic” is available now via the New Balance website, priced at $170 USD. See our Where to Buy section below for purchase links.
