After first launching in initial colorways back in April, the ABZORB 1890 now arrives in a special Grey Days 2026 edition.

The silhouette combines classic New Balance running DNA with a more distinctive and playful design language.

The model draws clear inspiration from classic New Balance running silhouettes, yet develops a distinctly unique character through its proportions and technical design.

At the core of the silhouette is the original 2002 sole unit with full-length SBS ABZORB cushioning, giving the model both its technical look and all-day comfort.

The upper also incorporates familiar running influences, but feels more modern and experimental through its flowing transitions, synthetic materials and more futuristic proportions.

Overall, the ABZORB 1890 positions itself between classic running DNA and a more progressive lifestyle silhouette.
