Black mesh covers most of the New Balance MAXEY v1 “Red Rock/Black,” with dusty red overlays stretching from the toe through the sides. Those curved panels leave large sections of mesh visible, while another red piece wraps around the heel above the sole.

The upper mixes textures, including fuzzy black panels around the lace area and lower heel, plus a smooth finish at the back of the collar. A black N outlined in red sits on the outer side. Matching black laces run over a mesh tongue with small red branding details.

A glossy blue NB badge breaks up the black heel, adding a color that barely shows from the side. The black sole curves up around the upper, and a look underneath reveals wavy traction with four yellow-green circles across the forefoot.

The New Balance MAXEY v1 “Red Rock/Black” arrives November 2, 2026, for $130 through NewBalance.com.
