New Balance Malaysia Kicks Off Grey Days 2025 With New Pop-up & In-Store Experiences
Originally introduced in the 1980s to build a superior urban running shoe, the colour Grey continues to embody New Balance's dedication to craft, quality and fearless independence in every field. While vivid colours and bright whites became the order of the day for athletic wear, New Balance's Grey stood out amongst its competitors – all while proving to be a perfect complement to the concrete and asphalt backdrop of road running.
Grey Days 2025 is an expression of Grey as a limitless possibility. The classic New Balance shade is applied in various forms across twenty-one footwear and eleven apparel styles, ranging from all-time classics to modern favourites. The reissue of the 1300JP, the legendary style released once every five years, brings extra excitement to this year's celebration. The 1300JP stands out as one of New Balance's most sought-after styles, for its rarity, impeccable craftsmanship and unique place in global sneaker culture.
'Whether you're new to the brand or a longtime loyalist, Grey embodies the promise of everything that sets New Balance apart. The symbolism of Grey has remained central to the brand for decades, and Grey Days 2025 showcases its diverse appeal,' said Brian Lynn, Global Vice President of Lifestyle. 'By bringing together an array of our athletes and ambassadors to highlight these exclusive styles, we are honouring the versatility and authenticity that is core to both our heritage and our future.'
Grey Days 2025 highlights several key launches throughout May. The launches include:
May 1: The Grey Shop launches in New Balance stores and on the New Balance website and will include new and existing Grey styles from the brand's lifestyle, performance, and kids ranges, including the 740, 9060, 1000, T500, Fresh Foam X 1080v14, and more, in addition to a selection of timeless Grey apparel.
May 14: The 1906 Loafer launches in Malaysia. A reenvisioned classic penny loafer, this juxtaposition of sneakers and formal wear has been in high demand since launching late last year.
May 22: The ABZORB 2010 and 471 launch. The latest model launches from New Balance. Both are inspired by the brand's running heritage, ABZORB 2010 being a progressive take on 2000s-era running and 471 being the consumer's new go-to reimagined from '70s running silhouettes.
May 29: The 1300JP launches. Released just once every five years, New Balance's 1300JP has become one of the sneaker world's most sought-after styles.
As part of the Grey Days 2025 celebration in Malaysia, New Balance Malaysia launched two key experiences – the dedicated Pop-up at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and the in-store experience at New Balance Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. The Pop-up is open from 9th to 18th May 2025, while the in-store experience is available from 9th May until 2nd June 2025. Customers can check out the latest Grey Day collection, join a hands-on workshop, and get a limited edition tote with a minimum purchase.

On & New Balance's Latest Drops Are Giving Dancing On Clouds Vibes & We're Here For It!
Some shoes are designed to be the pinnacle of fashion, while others are made for peak performance. The best kicks though, are the ones that marry both. If you want to know what walking on clouds feels like – while looking like a cloud-hopping deity – then these new drops from New Balance and On have gotchu. Cloud x FKA Shoe To create an enthralling tribute to mixed-movement mediums and the beauty of defying conventional shoe designs, FKA Twigs initially collaborated with On on the captivating 'The Body Is Art' campaign. The pair are now building on that idea by examining freedom of movement and launching their first-ever full-length collection that includes both clothing and shoes. The collection's pieces and the Jordan Hemingway-shot campaign are enhanced by additional surreal moving images by Zeel Free. Both highlight fluidity and versatility, drawing heavily from Twigs' versatility as an artist and performer. The Cloud x FKA shoe was inspired by dancing. The sleek, light trainer, which is made of woven material with a satin feel, embodies a dance-inspired design. Regarding clothing, the pair offers a collection of athletic pieces in muted hues, including sports bras, cropped hoodies, and track jackets and skorts. The Spring/Summer 2025 On by FKA Twigs capsule collection will be sold on On's official website beginning 26th June, with standard pricing to follow. New Balance ABZORB 2000 'Blue/Grey' After the first sneak peek of the New Balance 2000 ABZORB appeared online earlier this February, when Sao Paolo-based stylist Gustavo Soares shared the retro-futuristic silhouette in a baby blue hue, another colourway emerged. Later this year, New Balance is anticipated to release the 2000 model, which updates the shoe's appearance by fusing modern inspirations with the running shoe style of the early 2000s. This new colourway comes in a light blue upper that contrasts with the gradient grey tones used throughout. It features a streamlined upper silhouette with a breathable mesh upper and synthetic overlays. Along with the grey tints on the insole and 'N' branding, the silver accents on the eyelets, overlays, and full-length ABZORB cushioning system give the shoe a more futuristic appearance. The New Balance ABZORB 2000 'Blue/Grey' is slowly hitting shelves as well as the official website. You can snag a pair for US$170 (~RM727). What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0

2 Bold Drops From New Balance & Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court Bring Neon Heat & Creamy Cool
New Balance 1906A Neon Pack New Balance is turning the heat back up on its 1906A lineup with a bold new 'Neon Pack' dropping this Fall. After letting the 2010 and 2000 series take the spotlight for a bit, the 1906A returns with two eye-catching colourways that are anything but low-key. The 'Pink Metallic' colorway goes all out with a black base, bright pink mesh, and shiny silver accents – giving serious Y2K-meets-cyberpunk vibes. Meanwhile, the 'White/Green' version is a clean, minimalist look, built on off-white leather with subtle neon green details hiding in the stitching and outsole. Both styles still champion the 1906A's deconstructed frame and tech-runner DNA, but this pack plays with tone and texture in exciting new ways. Whether you're after an unapologetically loud statement shoe or something more quietly confident, the Neon Pack has your vibe sorted. The New Balance 1906A 'Pink Metallic' and 'White/Green' Neon Pack will retail for US$170 (~RM799) and are expected to launch in Fall 2025 at select New Balance stores and online. Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court 'Muslin' Jordan Brand is teaming up once again with Ev Bravado and Tela D'Amore's label, Who Decides War, to deliver a fresh take on its newest lifestyle silhouette: the Jordan Flight Court. After helping launch the model with a sleek black version last year, the duo is back – this time with something softer, but just as bold. Enter the 'Muslin' colourway, a creamy concoction of coconut milk, varsity red, and off-white tones. The upper features signature Who Decides War touches like intricate stitching and that low-key bullet logo, tucked behind a semi-translucent heel. You'll also spot the red Jumpman branding and a hidden message – 'The World Is Your Court' – etched on the tongue's inner side. This collab leans into detail without going overboard, blending streetwear's storytelling with Jordan's court heritage. It's clean, it's wearable, and it lowkey makes you feel like you're walking on a gallery floor instead of just the sidewalk. The Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court 'Muslin' will retail for US$115 (~RM539) and is expected to release in Summer 2025 at select Nike stores and online via Nike SNKRS and What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0
