The New Balance 1600 ABZORB is a fresh take on a classic running design. Released in 2014, this 'Grey' variant's suede upper is clad in technical mesh and sonic weld paneling. A bright 'N' initial and wordmarks on the tongue give a throwback complement. Embroidered text on the heel calls out the shock-absorbent midsole cushioning below. Full-length outsole rubber helps grant protection underneath it all.
