Although New Balance is known for its signature chunky silhouette, a more minimal and slim model used to be a crowd favorite, the athletic brand’s barefoot-inspired silhouette is a sleek and subdued design that resembles the natural foot shape. Although many of the most recognized models from the brand are the more voluminous styles, recent trends have cleared the way for the return of slimmed-down shoes. Besides its minimal size, the shoe offers a rugged and durable characteristic that athletes will enjoy. Feeling closer to the ground, this shoe is a one-of-a-kind design that contrasts significantly with the ultra-chunky models the brand has released. Despite its small size, this slim silhouette still offers all of the features and technology you would expect in your athletic footwear, without losing the style that New Balance has come to gain.

While the New Balance Minimus MT10 isn’t new to the brand’s lineup, the Dusk Shower palette lightens the model with a spring-ready hue. Donning a purple tone, the monochromatic suede and mesh uppers allow breathability and style. A rubber tongue label features New Balance’s flying logo, while Vibram’s yellow logo offers a small contrast that displays the design’s Vibram outsole. Rounded lugs offer multi-directional traction, ensuring safety and stability in every step. Nylon strap midfoot wraps give the design quick and easy access, making it a go-to when you’re in a rush. Hitting the shelves in time for the spring season, the new colorways will be available starting April 16 via the New Balance web store and will retail for $110.

Although it might seem like a collaboration with a particular soft drink, New Balance’s latest 9060 sneaker is an in-house project that exudes color. Similar to the recently announced ‘Cyber Jade,’ the new sneaker from the athletic company is a bold composition of color far from its typical neutrals and monochromatic color palettes. A far cry from last month’s ‘Grey Days,’ the New Balance 9060 has been reworked to incorporate colors and hues that make it feel like a true summer sneaker.

While its official release is still to be announced, this version of the New Balance 9060 is only part of the releases the brand has planned for the model this year. Although this might be the brand’s most colorful version thus far, it doesn’t mean it’s any less of a performance sneaker than its predecessors. A vibrant pop to add to your wardrobe, get ready for one of New Balance’s most statement sneakers of 2025.

Singer Jack Harlow may be dominating the stage as of late, but he’s also ready to take on the design world. Along with New Balance, the singer is heading into a new journey that has taken him to create a new indoor soccer-inspired sneaker. In recent seasons, the indoor soccer shoe has become the base of many new releases, with brands like Adidas and Nike taking to their archives for inspiration from some of their iconic soccer sneakers. Along with the trend, this latest sneaker takes inspiration from Harlow’s time as a high school soccer player in his native Louisville, Kentucky. While the only confirmation of the trend comes from Harlow’s social media, there’s no doubt that its release will make major waves among fans and beyond.

While May was all about New Balance’s ‘Grey Days’ celebration, June is shaping into a more eccentric and colorful month. Last month, the athletic company celebrated its traditional hue with a month-long celebration of pop-ups, new releases, and one-of-a-kind surprises. However, New Balance has announced its latest release to start a new chapter, which is the complete opposite of their last celebration. Aptly named ‘Cyber Jade,’ the newest shoe is an eccentric color combination that ditches the subtle grey for brilliant, bright, and bold hues. Taking on one of the brand’s most iconic and traditional silhouettes, New Balance quickly ditches the classic grey, showcasing a firm grasp of all the colors, and isn’t afraid to use them.
