It’s been an eventful year for New Balance’s 1000 silhouette. From release to release, this retro design has become a recent hit for the brand, which continues to refresh its 90s and 2000s era styles. In their latest update, New Balance has once again added a new colorway to the 1000 model, and this time it’s diving headfirst into its retro look. The latest colorway, “Monarch Burgundy,” elevates the design’s naturally retro aesthetic, creating a wonderful blend of vintage and modern elements. Still incorporating all the modern New Balance footwear technology that users have come to love, this 1000 sneaker is perfect for those seeking a splash of color and style in their lifestyle sneakers.

In their latest colorway, the New Balance 1000 continues to feature its layered synthetic and mesh uppers in a rich, burgundy hue. Black accents along the paneling, logo, and parts of the midsole add an interesting contrast to the design. Pops of metallic silver can also be found in small touches, adding a bit of shine to the design. Inside, the full-length ABZORB cushioning adds shock absorption and comfort for all-day wear. The Stability Web technology offers arch support that lasts. Durable rubber outsoles provide traction and continuity to the design. Hints of light blue are also incorporated into the design’s branding, creating a fascinating color pop against the retro aesthetic. The New Balance 1000 “Monarch Burgundy” can be found on New Balance’s webstore for $150, along with the rest of the colorways in this design.

There’s no doubt that when New Balance 1906L first debuted, the sneaker-loafer was born. While other brands released similar styles before and after, the New Balance 1906L marked the start of the hybrid shoe trend.
