New Balance ABZORB 2010 & 2000 Have Just Dropped & We're Obsessed!
New Balance is back, shaking up the sneaker scene with a fresh take on its legendary ABZORB cushioning technology. Say hello to the ABZORB 2010 and ABZORB 2000 — two sleek, 2000s-inspired kicks that blend throwback vibes with next-level comfort and style.
First launched in 1993, ABZORB cushioning changed the game for runners, and now it's making waves again. The ABZORB 2010 flexes a bold, segmented sole and diamond-knit mesh for a look that's both familiar and futuristic. Meanwhile, the ABZORB 2000 stuns with its minimalist upper and a full-length sole packed with cutting-edge cushioning tech — all crafted using 3D design wizardry for smooth curves and sharp details.
Charlotte Lee, Design Manager at New Balance, shares, 'It was all about mixing heritage with a modern twist. We kept the iconic elements but reimagined them for today's style-savvy runners and sneakerheads.'
The ABZORB 2010 kicks off the drop, and is now available at New Balance stores in The Exchange TRX and Pavilion KL, as well as online. The ABZORB 2000 follows in June — just in time to elevate your sneaker game.

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

Crafted In The USA, Worn Everywhere: New Balance Drops 1300JP 2025
The other shoe has dropped! New Balance has unveiled the 2025 iteration of the Made in USA 1300JP – the legendary style released just once every five years. Coming this May during 'Grey Days,' the 1300JP stands out as one of New Balance's most sought-after styles, not only because of its rarity, but because of its impeccable craftsmanship and unique place in global sneaker culture. Released in 1985, the original 1300 was lauded for its combination of technological innovation and premium materials. The superior cushioning provided by full-length ENCAP and the shoe's premium nubuck and mesh construction redefined the public's understanding of what a luxury running shoe could be. Even though the original 1300 shattered the era's established price ceiling, the shoe quickly gained traction amongst consumers, particularly in Japan. New Balance fans began wearing the 1300 not just to run, but as a mark of status and taste, rooted in the culture's deep reverence for craftsmanship. The discerning sneaker-buying public paid extra close attention to the details of the shoe, where the immense care taken to construct each component was evident – down to the subtle individual irregularities created by hand stitching. The 1300 elevated standards of quality and craft to a level that transcended performance footwear. Demand for the original led to a cult-like following, inspiring the reissue of the 1300JP in 1995. Celebrating the brand's rich heritage, New Balance has since re-released the 1300JP every five years. The anticipation for this extremely limited release is part of what makes it so special. The style's authentic appeal, elevated materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, continue to enthral fashion and sneaker culture alike with each new release. 'The 1300JP is a shoe like no other, an emblem of the soul of New Balance, that is prized by collectors and appreciators around the globe. Even before joining New Balance myself 34 years ago, I was inspired by my father's work with the brand on the innovative sole design for the original 1300JP. This legacy model has been a constant throughout my career at New Balance, from spending years perfecting the first reissue, to working diligently on each subsequent launch to evolve the style in subtle ways while remaining true to its roots. With 2025's launch we are excited to continue the 1300JP's legacy, showcasing the design's timeless appeal to loyal fans and a new generation' said Shinichi Kubota, Vice President, New Balance Japan. Meticulously crafted in New Balance's Skowhegan, Maine manufacturing facility, the Made in USA 1300JP is produced with a level of detail, expertise, and premium quality that is unrivalled in the sneaker world. The Made in USA 1300JP will retail for RM1,399 and drops in Malaysia on 29th May 2025. Cop it online at The Grey Shop and through raffle draw at the New Balance Malaysia page.
