TLDR: The New Balance ABZORB 1890 ‘Faded Black/Utility Green’ combines running archives with modern tech design. Striking ABZORB cushioning, dark base with green accents – release on 12 March for €190. With the 1890, New Balance is launching a new lifestyle silhouette that blends two running classics. While the midsole comes from the original 2002 from 2010, the upper is based on the striking teardrop-shaped overlays of the 890v3. The result is a technical-looking hybrid that clearly looks to the future.
The ‘Faded Black/Utility Green’ colourway features a dark mesh base accented with synthetic overlays in Utility Green. Reflective, welded details add depth and emphasise the performance character. Two-tone laces and a subtle ‘N’ logo on the midfoot round off the design, while textured elements and a utility cage lend stability to the upper.
Underfoot, a segmented ABZORB midsole provides strong shock absorption and stability. The chunky pod construction gives the sneaker a striking look, while the grippy outsole with multi-zone traction emphasises its functional appeal.
