Matt Varga The Boston brand continues to provide a wealth of options in retro running. We’ve recently uncovered the New Balance 1954, a revival of the original 2002 sole platform that builds off the success of the 1906R. Beyond that, that same cushioning platform is lighting additional focuses for 2026, from the 1890 to a still-pending Ronnie Fieg project coming in the second half of the year.
Don’t let all that “newness” distract from existing successes out of NB. Those “visible tech” titans sit in the wake of a shoe like the New Balance 2000, helping whet palettes for a maximalist full-court-press out of the American giant. The chunky runner continues to dot the newswire with strong, vibrant options with seasonal palettes and trendy hardware. A “Boysonberry/Smoked Violet” is the latest to come to light, turning down the saturation a bit on its lavender overtones and sliding off-white hues in the spaces between.
The New Balance 2000 “Smoked Violet” is already up on select overseas retailers like END., but a wide launch via New Balance channels is still pending. Expect the standard $170 retail price once that comes to pass.
