TLDR: The New Balance 1890 ‘Boysenberry’ brings back eye-catching Y2K tech-runner vibes. Bold purple meets yellow and red, combined with visible ABZORB technology – releasing on 16 April for €190. With the New Balance 1890 “Boysenberry”, the brand is fully embracing tech runner nostalgia and delivering one of the most eye-catching colourways of the new silhouette. Instead of a minimalist approach, NB has deliberately opted for a loud, energetic design here.
The upper is finished entirely in a deep boysenberry purple and is complemented by dynamic, curved overlays. Eye-catching Punch Yellow details run along the panels and around the large “N” logo, whilst red accents add further highlights and give the trainer even more depth.
The construction also immediately catches the eye. The silhouette combines elements from various running models, including the 2002 sole and influences from the 890v3. Visible ABZORB elements not only ensure comfort but also emphasise the technical look.
Things get even more striking at the heel: a glossy black heel counter and striped details provide contrast, whilst the speckled midsole with neon accents completes the futuristic vibe.
If you’re into bold runners like this, you should keep an eye out for the drop. As always, it’s worth checking out Grailify for further releases and shops 😉
