The New Balance ABZORB 2000 LUXE “Horizon Grey” released October 1, 2026. U20001D3. $160. The ABZORB 2000 LUXE is a premium version of New Balance’s chunky runner and the Horizon Grey colorway is the kind of understated design that New Balance does better than anyone.
The ABZORB 2000 is part of New Balance’s push into the chunky runner space. The 2002R, the 1906R, and now the ABZORB 2000 LUXE. These shoes take 2000s running tech and repackage it for lifestyle wear.
The LUXE designation means better materials. Premium suede, higher quality mesh, upgraded cushioning. The Horizon Grey colorway uses shades of grey throughout. It is monochromatic in the best way. No loud accents. No contrast colors. Just grey done right.
The ABZORB cushioning is the technology that gives this shoe its name. It is New Balance’s proprietary shock absorption system. The LUXE version likely upgrades the foam compound for a softer, more responsive ride.
$160 via NewBalance.com and select retailers.
