New Balance is running the game, literally and figuratively. They’ve introduced a swath of new silhouettes, including an Evo SL killer, the Ellipse, two new shoes for the hardwood with the P350 and P400, and the latest member of the ABZORB family with the New Balance 5030. Outside of the previously previewed Slam Jam collab, we got looks a few of the launch colorway, including this Magic Blue rendition.
This White Magic Blue rendition of the 5030 comes dressed in a gradient that shifts from white at the toe to a strong shade of navy that peaks near the shoe’s eyelets and then fades once more at the heel. White contouring lines add depth to the cutouts and blend in with the white ABZORB midsole.
A hint of silver can be found on the N logos on the side panels, while a matching but less metallic gray adds to the heel midsole stabilizer. The famed ABZORB pods found in the heel of the silhouette come tinged in a translucent navy blue to tie the look together.
