TLDR: The New Balance 2000 ‘Cortado’ brings an earthy colour palette to the futuristic ABZORB silhouette – with brown mesh, reflective details and a purple cushioning sole. The sneaker will be released on 16 January 2026 and will cost €200. As always, more information is available at Grailify. The New Balance 2000 ‘Cortado’ is the latest colourway in the experimental ABZORB series – and probably one of the most accessible yet. While the model stands out with its futuristic shape, this colourway features a relaxed, brown-heavy colour scheme that fits perfectly into everyday life.
The upper is made of breathable mesh in dark brown, combined with smooth, tonal synthetic overlays that almost act as an outer protective layer. Reflective elements on the sides provide subtle highlights, while the oversized ‘N’ logo almost disappears into the background in terms of colour. The overall colour scheme is calm and understated – without being boring.
The footwear becomes more striking underfoot: the segmented ABZORB sole combines comfort, stability and style – especially thanks to the purple-coloured pods, which contrast excitingly with the dark upper material. A robust outsole with multiple grip zones makes the sneaker ideal for everyday wear.
The ‘Cortado’ expands the colour spectrum of the New Balance 2000 series and proves that futuristic design and wearable colourways don't have to be a contradiction.
