If dad shoes had a sci-fi glow-up, you’d get the New Balance 2000 “Baby Blue”. Dropping June 12th, this futuristic sneaker is turning heads and ankles (in a good way). It’s the kind of shoe that says, “I care about cushioning and cosmic vibes.”

First spotted in São Paulo, the silhouette has been orbiting the sneaker scene for months. It features full-length ABZORB cushioning, ideal for comfort whether you’re walking the dog or pacing at a music fest. The mesh upper is layered with synthetic no-sew overlays, keeping things sleek but sporty.

Sure, it gives off New Balance 9060 energy, but this one cranks up the design dial. The midsole bulges like a science project, while the wave-like details on the upper say “yes, I run… stylish errands.”
