New Balance M1000MB

The New Balance 1000 Gray Cream is a lifestyle athletic shoe featuring a layered, ombré aesthetic. A black tread outsole meets an oversized Moonrock midsole in two hues of khaki. The upper continues the hue in suede on the sides and leather at the tip, while there is Sea Salt for the tongue, lace panel, and heel collar. N logo branding accents the sides, and additional New Balance branding adorns the tongue and rear heel. With a history that spans over 100 years, American athletic wear brand New Balance has a wealth of design archives to access. The 1000 is one such style, having originally been released in 1999, when its chunky midsole reflected the future. As demand for the 1000’s throwback styling re-emerged, NB updated its sole with ABZORB cushioning and a Stability Web, making it both stylish and comfortable. Our experts feel that the best feature of the 1000 is its detailed placement of neutral tones, which makes it versatile and visually interesting. The New Balance 1000 Gray Cream released on September 11, 2024, and retailed for $150.
