The New Balance 1000 is getting a Cordura update for Fall 2026, with two colorways built around the tougher fabric. Suede is mixed into both uppers, along with reflective details, while the model keeps its familiar ABZORB cushioning underfoot.

The “Black/Grey” pair sticks to charcoal, grey, and black. Grey runs through the tongue and upper, with black suede covering the toe, sides, and heel. Reflective hits are worked around the laces, toe, heel, and “N” logo. Cordura branding sits near the lateral heel, along with tonal “1000” embroidery.

Brown, taupe, and beige make up most of the New Balance 1000 Cordura “Brown/Yellow.” Dark brown shows up around the lining and branding, but the yellow accents are kept pretty limited, appearing on the tongue, heel, and midsole. Two-tone laces and cream reflective details break up the brown shades. A black midsole and outsole sit underneath.

Both New Balance 1000 Cordura colorways are set to release in Fall 2026 for $150 each.
