Successful revivals of retro sneakers have put New Balance in a great position entering 2025. However, the brand isn’t resting on its laurels and sticking to this formula, as NB has plans to bring forth a variety of new models. Alongside the 2010, a new “premium classic” from the label, we expect the Abzorb 2000, a viz-tech Y2K-inspired silhouette, to debut in the coming months. We have early images of the Dragon Berry rendition after a first look at the Baby Blue colorway.
The upper of the Abzorb 2000 utilizes a no-sew, futuristic-yet-retro appearance, with this Dragon Berry colorway coating most of the sneaker in this pink hue. A gradient of black to pink is found on the mudguard, which wraps around to form the lower eyelets and hosts hits of grey and black via its linear pattern. This same panel is mirrored on the top half of the upper, wrapping back to create the heel overlay.
