New Balance continues to delve into its 2000s archives to satisfy fans of technical sneakers. The Boston-based brand unveils the New Balance ABZORB 2000 today in a "Wakame/Black" colorway that perfectly embodies the current Gorecore trend.

The "Wakame" colorway translates to a deep, organic forest green applied to premium suede overlays. This rich base is contrasted by breathable black mesh and reflective silver accents, typical of millennial-era running designs.

Beyond its retro-futuristic look, this silhouette is a true benchmark in comfort. It incorporates ABZORB cushioning technology throughout the midsole, guaranteeing maximum shock absorption, whether for urban use or your outdoor adventures.


Details like the two-tone round laces and textured "N" logo enhance the shoe's robust and high-quality look. This "Wakame/Black" model proves that New Balance has mastered the art of modernizing its classics without betraying their original DNA.

The New Balance ABZORB 2000 "Wakame/Black" (SKU: U20006E1) is expected to be available in early 2026 from top retailers and on the brand's official website.
