TLDR: The New Balance ABZORB 2000 ‘Wakame’ combines technical performance with nature-inspired colours – a rich green tone meets black contrasts and eye-catching neon cushioning. The sneaker will be released on 16 January 2026 and will cost €200. As always, more information is available at Grailify. The New Balance ABZORB 2000 ‘Wakame’ brings a breath of fresh air to New Balance's Y2K retro line – and shows how modern tech runners can look when styled right. While the base colour in deep Wakame green appears rather earthy and understated, the neon-coloured ABZORB sole in ‘Afterglow’ provides an exciting contrast.
The upper combines breathable mesh with synthetic and nubuck overlays that layer over the upper material. Black accents on the mudguard, ‘N’ logo and inner lining add structure to the look and create a more aggressive, sporty overall appearance. The midsole with visible ABZORB and ABZORB SBS cushioning remains true to the technical DNA of the model and offers top-level comfort.
