ABZORB 2000, a new standard that surpasses the times.

Technology that embodies a tradition of innovation and craftsmanship cultivated over the years. The ABZORB 2000 from New Balance is a pair of shoes designed not only for comfort but also for “visual shock absorption. This time, under the slogan of ”New Tech Style," we will introduce styling suggestions for pairing this shoe with the ABZORB 2000. Different materials such as nylon and wool, shirts and skirts, etc. are layered to add a bit of color to the calm tones, as a spice to add a sense of discomfort to functional clothing.

The Art of Layering Bottoms.

The sportier the shoes, the more likely they are to get lost if you wear light clothing as well. So this time, I paired a nylon top with a checkered shirt tied around my waist to create a skirt-like effect, and layered my bottoms in three layers. This combination complements the mixed-material aesthetic of “ABZORB 2000.” I’ve kept the overall look cohesive with muted tones like gray and sage, while adding a pop of color with an orange neck warmer wrapped around my neck. This naturally draws attention to the voluminous look of my footwear.
