The New Balance MAXEY v1 "Red Rock/Black" Releases November 2026

The New Balance MAXEY v1 is arriving in a "Red Rock/Black" colorway that keeps the palette grounded in dark tones while letting a few well-placed details break the monotony. Black mesh covers the majority of the upper, with dusty red overlays sweeping from the toe through the sides. Those curved panels leave generous sections of mesh exposed, and a matching red piece wraps around the heel just above the sole unit.

Texture mixing defines the construction throughout. Fuzzy black panels appear around the lace area and lower heel, contrasting with a smoother finish at the back of the collar. A black N outlined in red lands on the outer side, tying the accent color back into the branding, while matching black laces run over a mesh tongue carrying small red details. A glossy blue NB badge at the heel introduces an unexpected third color that stays subtle from most angles. Below, the black sole curves up to hug the upper, and the forefoot traction pattern features four yellow-green circles set into wavy rubber.
