TLDR: The New Balance 2000 ‘Grey Matter/Timberwolf’ combines futuristic ABZORB performance with a calm, earthy colourway. The tech runner will be released on 11 March 2026 for €200. The New Balance 2000 has quickly become one of the most exciting silhouettes in the current NB line-up – and that's almost without any major collaborations. Instead of hype names, the focus has been on eye-catching tech elements and strong general release colourways. With the ‘Grey Matter/Timberwolf’, the progressive runner now gets a much more subdued interpretation.
The upper is based on lightweight mesh in a timberwolf tone, which serves as a neutral base. Synthetic overlays in ‘Grey Matter’ are layered on top, flowing smoothly through the design and creating a clean, almost seamless look. Different matte and slightly shiny finishes add depth without being too loud. Even the ‘N’ branding is discreetly integrated and partially embedded in the construction.
Underfoot, the 2000 remains true to its futuristic DNA. The segmented ABZORB sole with pod-like cushioning elements not only ensures a striking look, but also reliable comfort for everyday wear. Slightly bluish-tinted ABZORB elements add subtle accents, while grey and off-white foam layers provide additional stability. The outsole also picks up on the segmented concept and supports flexible traction.
