New Balance just said, “Let’s turn 2000s running shoes into today’s drip,” and the result is the New Balance ABZORB 2010 “Dockside Indigo”. It’s chunky, nostalgic, and unapologetically stylish—like your dad, but with better WiFi.

This new silhouette doesn’t whisper retro—it screams it, proudly flaunting a segmented ABZORB sole so beefy it should come with a warning label. The upper features diamond-knit mesh so breathable, your feet might file for emancipation from sweaty socks. Wrapped in forest green, olive, and slate grey, it looks like Mother Nature dipped her toes in streetwear.

Oh, and let’s not ignore the 2010 tongue tag flex. Because if you’re gonna go full Y2K dad shoe, you better own it.

This New Balance ABZORB 2010 “Dockside Indigo” colorway launches globally May 7, 2025. You can snag it via NewBalance.com or from select sneaker dealers who know good taste when they see it. It’ll cost you $160—but that’s the price of stylish stability in a chaotic world.

So if you’re looking to upgrade your sneaker game with retro DNA and comfort tech, the ABZORB 2010 Dockside Indigo is calling. Loudly. Answer already.
