New Balance ABZORB 2000 Black

New Balance ABZORB 2000 Black

The New Balance ABZORB 2000 Black (U2000ETB) is the essential: an all-black mesh upper with tonal overlays and reflective 'N' branding that streamlines the chunky, futuristic silhouette into something you can wear every single day. It is the ABZORB 2000 at its most versatile — sleek from a distance, all tech up close.

The ABZORB 2000 is New Balance's boldest Y2K revival yet: a brand-new silhouette inspired by early-2000s running, built around a full-length ABZORB sole unit with visible ABZORB SBS pods. Chunky, sculpted and futuristic, it sits somewhere between the 2002R and a concept sneaker.

Full-length ABZORB + ABZORB SBS Pods

The midsole combines a full-length ABZORB compound with exposed ABZORB SBS pods at heel and forefoot, so every step is absorbed and returned. A segmented outsole with a Stability Web shank keeps the chunky platform stable, while the Ndurance rubber outsole handles daily mileage on pavement.

Mesh upper with printed overlays and reflective details. Supportive heel counter. Segmented Ndurance rubber outsole. Heritage running technology in a sneaker made for the streets.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants the ABZORB 2000 in its easiest-to-wear form: a black chunky runner that goes with everything, from tailoring to track pants. Runs true to size.
