New Balance’s P400 Basketball Shoe Gets a Red and Black Makeover

We’re halfway through the NBA season, and New Balance is ready to double down on its basketball catalog for the playoff push. In addition to announcing an upcoming Tyrese Maxey signature shoe, the Boston-based brand is refreshing its entire inline basketball program, relaunching the catalog with a new commercial featuring Cameron Brink, Cooper Flagg, newly minted LA Clipper Darius Garland, and more.

One of the new spotlights of the brand’s Basketball line is the New Balance P400, an rebranding of the Fresh Foam BB series with a dual-cushioning system combining EVA Foam and a Fresh Foam X core to keep your feet cradled from buzzer to buzzer. A stiffer foam layer is added at the lateral side of the midsole for even more stability.

After debuting the P400 on the Paris Fashion Week runway in a triple-black CDG collab and an introductory inline blend of black and Inkwell blue, the latest addition to the lineup is a black, white, and red colorway with a flexible TPU cage adding structure to the reinforced mesh upper. Technically, this was supposed to be the Fresh Foam BB V4, but going forward, it seems the “P” branding will be universal across NB Basketball. The Hesi Low is also undergoing a rebrand, with the P350 acting as the Hesi Low V3.

The New Balance P400 Black Team Red will be released February 11, 2026 through New Balance and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For all the latest New Balance Basketball news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
