In the earliest days of the New Balance 1000, quickly the pairs that wore “split” color-blocking became the dominant force, easiest propelled to sell-outs while counterparts that diverged were often far more accessible. Evidently, that’s a pattern that the Boston brand took note of, as we’ve seen a return of this half-and-half aesthetic as the model enters year 2.
Clearly crafted from the same mold as recent “Arid Stone” and “Vintage Indigo” pairs, where this crop breaks from early editions is in materials, leaning on metallic leather on its lower half rather than the matte suede arrangements that populated the newswire in 2024. Hexagonal mesh peers through those overlay panels, helping deliver more fiery tonality alongside the lace loops and a stripe of ABZORB cushioning in the heel. In trademark fashion, pops of pure white and light grey at the throat and midsole help ground the design overall and balance out the vibrant hues on display.
The New Balance 1000 “Monarch Burgundy” is available now via NewBalance.com, retailing for its usual $150 sticker price. Check for your size using the “Where To Buy” links embedded below.
