New Balance is launching a bold, experimental design that pushes the bounds of its retro-tech aesthetic. The ABZORB 2000 “Iridescent” is a forward-thinking interpretation of early 2000s running shoe architecture, utilizing dynamic color shifts and visible performance technology.
The sneaker’s design is grounded in a sleek black mesh foundation. This dark base is brought to life by color-changing viridescent hues that overlay the upper, giving the shoe a constant, light-shifting quality. The futuristic appearance is heightened by the massive, segmented midsole, which features a full-length ABZORB cushioning system accented by copper-toned ABZORB SBS pods. This commitment to visible technology makes the performance features a central part of the shoe’s art.
This “Iridescent” edition marks a stark divergence from the minimalist, monochromatic colorways that have defined the 2000 silhouette thus far. The multi-color approach is a direct statement, reinforcing the shoe’s identity as a concept piece that blends throwback sports styling with a contemporary, digitally inspired aesthetic. The New Balance ABZORB 2000 “Iridescent” is scheduled for release during the Holiday 2025 season.
