New Balance Abzorb 2000 "Silver Metallic/Faded Black"

With the ABZORB 2000, New Balance is opening a new chapter while also taking a deep dive into its own archives. As part of the ‘Behind the Design’ campaign, Design Manager Charlotte Lee provides insights into the creation of the model, which was deliberately conceived as something completely new – inspired by the 2000s, but implemented with modern tools and technologies.

The newly released ‘Silver Metallic’ colourway perfectly captures the aesthetic of the noughties. Shiny silver overlays meet a black mesh base, creating a striking contrast. Particularly eye-catching are the visible ABZORB SBS pods, which not only make a visual statement but also play a central functional role. The white midsole rounds off the look and gives the sneaker a certain balance despite its futuristic approach.

Technically, the ABZORB 2000 is all about innovation. The full-length ABZORB sole combines classic ABZORB cushioning with ABZORB SBS elements, complemented by a segmented outsole with Stability Web for additional support. The minimalist mesh upper with printed overlays underlines the experimental character of the model.
