Initially released in 1999 as a performance-running silhouette and quickly shelved after poor market reception, the New Balance 1000 found new life when the brand revived it in early 2024. Since its collaborations with Aime Leon Dore and Joe Freshgoods, the 1000 has become integral to the brand’s release calendar, appearing in GR colorways and new collaborative makeups like the upcoming release from Concepts. Joining the recently previewed Dragon Berry colorway is a Team Royal rendition.
Like the aforementioned Dragon Berry New Balance 1000, this Team Royal pair comes with black accents clashing against the vibrant colors found on the leather overlays. These panels coated in the titular team royal hue, including the mudguard, top and bottom midfoot overlays, heel, and tongue overlay, are all surrounded by black shades, as seen by the mesh base, lace set, and sockliner.
