The New Balance 2000 "Black Cement" Arrives Fall 2026
Quick Summary
- New Balance 2000 "Black Cement" releases Fall 2026 for $170 retail via New Balance and select retailers.
- Black open-knit mesh upper pairs with Metallic Gray toe box and panels, accented by Podium Red on midsole and details.
- Reflective silver "N" logos and exposed ABZORB cushioning pods add technical depth to the darker colorway.
New Balance is putting a darker spin on the 2000 with the "Black Cement" colorway, a build that keeps the model's technical layering intact while shifting the overall mood considerably. Black open-knit mesh covers most of the upper, with metallic gray panels wrapping the toe box, eyestays, sides, and heel. The mix of matte and glossy finishes across those surfaces adds visual depth without introducing any new colors into the palette.
Podium Red appears in measured doses throughout the design. Thin lines trace portions of the curved paneling, then reappear on the tongue and around the heel collar. Reflective silver trim outlines the oversized "N" logos on each side, helping define the boundary between the upper's overlapping sections. The sole unit carries the most red on the shoe, with exposed ABZORB cushioning pods running heel to toe inside a sculpted black midsole and matching rubber sections along the outsole. Black laces, vertical "2000" tongue branding, heel logos, and co-branded New Balance and ABZORB insoles complete the build.
The New Balance 2000 "Black Cement" is set to release during Fall 2026 through New Balance and select retailers for a retail price of $170. To stay informed on all things New Balance and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
