The New Balance 1000 ‘Real Pink Sandstone’ is crafted from ripstop with leather and suede overlays, featuring a top half in green and tan. The lower portion is suffused in a vivid pink hue that extends into a lightweight polyurethane midsole with ABZORB cushioning in the forefoot and heel. A decoupled black rubber outsole provides durable traction, while New Balance’s Stability Web offers a blend of torsional rigidity and midfoot support.
The reissued 1000 brings a turn of the millennium classic out of the archives. Originally released in 1999, the 1000 embodied the era’s bold, futuristic styling with a streamlined, yet intricately detailed design. The standard mesh upper and leather overlay design is inverted, with mesh underlays, emerging from the more prominent overlay panels, for a refined, tech-inspired look. A segmented sole unit features ABZORB cushioning at the heel and forefoot, with a Stability Web midfoot shank.
