In 2024, New Balance revived their 1000 model, an older running shoe repurposed for their lifestyle catalog. This week, a new colorway of the model has emerged from their Summer 2025 lineup, featuring breathable mesh and an “Ice Blue” color scheme.
The return of the New Balance 1000 last year marked another notch in the brand’s belt of having their finger on the pulse of fashion trends. The Boston brand was already immensely popular in the retro runner space, and bringing back the 1000 nailed the Y2K aesthetic that has been so popular over the last few years. Nearly every major collaborator has given their spin to the sleek silhouette, but New Balance still has some gas left in the tank for their in-line styles.
The 1000 is getting a refresh from New balance this season, updating the silhouette with some new materials and bright color schemes for the Summer. This week, we have an early look at a new pair in “Ice Blue”, which adds a more breathable mesh base layer under the shoe’s synthetic outer shell. The base and midsole of the shoe come in white, while the pale blue shades makes up the outer layers, with a gel N logo to complete the look.
