New Balance is bringing the vibes—and the bounce—with the all-new New Balance ABZORB 2000 sneaker. While Boston’s “Grey Days” event gave shine to models like the 1906L and 1906R, it’s the ABZORB 2000 that stole the spotlight like it owed rent.
This futuristic NB lifestyle shoe was first teased by Brazilian artist Soares 4R. Now, it’s making noise in São Paulo thanks to an exclusive event dubbed the “Abzorb House.” Yes, that’s a thing. No, you’re not invited—unless you’re cool enough to know Not The Samo, the underground collective behind the activation.
The ABZORB 2000 shoe mixes Y2K-inspired tech aesthetics with enough bubble sole action to make a trampoline jealous. Originally seen in icy blue, the launch introduced four more bangers: stealthy black, tonal white/grey, sleek teal and silver, and a pink gradient that screams, “Notice me!”
From the high-tech soles to the mesh-heavy uppers, the ABZORB 2000 sneaker is built to impress your feet and your followers. Expect official release info to roll out by June 2025—just in time to flex all summer.
In short, if your old kicks feel flat and lifeless, the New Balance ABZORB 2000 is your loud, squishy, style-forward savior.
