It’s an exciting time for New Balance basketball, not only as Tyrese Maxey has made a jump into the league’s upper echelon but also as Cooper Flagg pours in exceptional scoring nights to cap a potential rookie of the year campaign. It’s also a hot period for their core performance offerings, reformatting their vertical away from the BB Fresh Foam line into the P400 era.

A spiritual successor to the Zach LaVine-worn series, the P400 slots into that protection-focused lane: its high cut delivering ankle support, whereas the tech package underfoot pairs EVA foam and a Fresh Foam X midsole with a nylon plate. In the same way that the hardware here offers a blend between stability and explosiveness, this “Afterglow” edition further excites by shifting to the eye-catching hues expected in hoops shoes, covering the upper in a heavy dose of highlighter “Afterglow” tonality, though paired with grounding white and black in the trim.

The New Balance P400 “Afterglow” releases on New Balance US on April 15th, retailing for $130. Peruse official images below and keep our “Where To Buy” widget within reach for direct pick-up links once it arrives.
