TLDR: The Aminé x New Balance ABZORB 2000 ‘Biblioteca’ is a personal tribute to Portland's libraries. It features a bright green colourway, glow-in-the-dark details and book-style packaging. The sneaker will be released on 9 October 2025 at a price of €220 on newbalance.com and at selected retailers. As always, further information is available at Grailify. Following successful collaborations with the 610 and 740 models, Aminé's third project with New Balance is dedicated to the rare ABZORB 2000. The model combines futuristic tech looks with retro vibes and takes on a personal story in the ‘Biblioteca’ colourway: inspired by his childhood library card, the artist dedicates the shoe to the local libraries of his hometown.
The design is based on a striking lime green, which is further emphasised by glow-in-the-dark elements, shiny finishes and reflective details. The silhouette remains performance-ready thanks to ABZORB and ABZORB SBS cushioning, while the soft shape is reminiscent of classic running shoes. The tongue and insole feature custom ‘Biblioteca’ graphics and a fictional library card. The whole thing is packaged in a bookdrop box design reminiscent of the North Portland Library's drop box.
