A slower, more grounded approach to footwear is shaping early 2026, and New Balance’s latest link-up leans fully into that shift. Teaming with Khakis for the first time, the New Balance 2010 “Day Tour” taps into a familiar rhythm—one rooted in everyday movement, where city pavement and outdoor paths blur together.
Developed atop an ABZORB 2010 midsole, the shoe provides a satisfying blend of comfort and silence. The shape itself has an older running shoe aesthetic with touches reminiscent of the late ‘80s and ‘90s but stops short of feeling too retro. Vintage suede and nubuck overlays are featured atop a mesh upper, and warm brown tones are paired with dusty greys for a tonally-dulled, lived-in appearance. A cream colored “N” logo also ensures minimal contrast while the darker outsole pulls the whole shoe together.
There’s a clear direction here. Rather than chasing performance headlines, the focus shifts toward lifestyle versatility, suggesting a continued push from New Balance into refined, everyday wear rooted in heritage.
The New Balance 2010 “Day Tour” by Khakis releases February 20 through Khakis Seongsu, Yeonhui, and online.
