TLDR: The New Balance 2000S (also known as the 2000 Sleek) combines the iconic ABZORB 2000 sole with a completely redesigned upper. The result is a significantly sleeker silhouette that blends performance DNA with modern lifestyle aesthetics. It will be released on 16 July 2026 for €200. With the New Balance 2000S, New Balance is consistently evolving its futuristic ABZORB 2000. Whilst the distinctive midsole remains unchanged, the trainer features a completely new upper that embraces the current trend towards sleeker silhouettes.
The upper combines classic mesh with a one-piece outer layer, which is punctuated by an eye-catching dot pattern that reveals the mesh beneath. This gives the 2000S a significantly cleaner and more dynamic look than the original model. Subtle ‘N’ logos on the forefoot and narrow reflective details round off the technical design.
Underfoot, it sticks to the tried-and-tested formula: the striking ABZORB midsole, with five visible cushioning elements and additional SBS pads, continues to ensure high levels of comfort and optimum stability for everyday wear. An exposed midfoot plate further supports the construction and emphasises the sneaker’s futuristic character.
