The New Balance 1000 “Black/Grey” is here—and yes, it’s still cooler than your cousin who skateboards in suits.

This low-key legend keeps it sleek with black mesh underlays and smooth leather panels. But don’t sleep on the details. Grey nubuck on the toe, mudguard, and heel adds some serious “I dress well without trying” energy.

A crisp white midsole breaks things up like a well-timed dad joke, while the black and grey rubber outsole keeps you grounded—literally and stylistically.

While it won’t win awards for flashiness, this pair is the kind of sneaker that quietly carries every outfit. Whether you’re headed to brunch or dodging errands, this pair’s got your back (and feet).

And did we mention comfort? That ABZORB cushioning in the midsole is basically the foot version of a hammock. Trust us.

The New Balance 1000 “Black/Grey” releases Fall 2025 for $150. You’ll find them online at NewBalance.com and at select retailers.

In short, this colorway is perfect for anyone who wants to look sharp without yelling about it. Add it to your rotation before someone cooler beats you to it.
