UPDATE: New Colorways coming up...

New Balance continues its exploration of 2000s aesthetics and technology with the ABZORB 2000 – a silhouette that fuses progressive design with minimalist uppers and striking futuristic details.

At the heart of the design is the intricately constructed ABZORB sole unit, developed using 3D tools to enable organic curves and forms – resulting in a dynamic, almost sculptural design language.

The visible cushioning system blends classic ABZORB technology with strategically placed ABZORB SBS pods along the full length of the sole – an homage to early 2000s running icons, reimagined for today.

“The real challenge in designing the ABZORB 2000 was finding the right balance between heritage and modernity,” said Charlotte Lee, Design Manager.

‍

‍

‍

“We wanted to amplify those iconic design cues, like the ABZORB SBS gel cushioning, but rework them through a contemporary lens. It’s that tension between the past and the present that really drives our design philosophy.”

‍

‍

The ABZORB 2000 features a breathable mesh upper with graphic print overlays and a printed “N” logo that integrates seamlessly into the minimalist design.

Reflective details add subtle accents, while the segmented outsole with an integrated Stability Web and sculpted midsole elements delivers both visual depth and stability.

‍

The new New Balance ABZORB 2000 colorways will be released on July 10 and will then be available at the following retailers: 43einhalb, AFEW Store, Asphaltgold, HHV, SUPPA and VOO.

The ABZORB 2000 made its debut in the Still Water / Blue Agate colorway (U2000PBB), setting the tone with a cool, futuristic palette and understated contrasts – a bold introduction that perfectly captured New Balance’s fusion of technical innovation and progressive design.
