TLDR: The New Balance Gator Run is launching in two versatile colourways: ‘Linen’ and ‘Black/Magnet’. The low-top turf silhouette combines archive DNA with a fully suede upper and a high-grip treaded sole. Both versions will be released on 29 October 2026, priced at €140 each. With the Gator Run, New Balance is bringing back the look of classic turf trainers from its archives. The sleek shape, a rubber sole that extends high up the foot and the jagged tread create a blend of retro sport and modern lifestyle design.
The upper on both colourways is made entirely from premium hairy cowhide leather. ‘Linen’ features warm cream and sea-salt tones, contrasted by a black outsole. ‘Black/Magnet’, on the other hand, is almost entirely in black and dark grey, which makes the distinctive fur-like texture appear more subtle.
A flat midsole keeps the trainer close to the ground, whilst the treaded turf outsole offers extra grip. Weighing in at around 330 grams, the Gator Run remains pleasantly light despite the high-quality materials used.
