FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The ABZORB1890 fits consistent with standard New Balance sizing. If you have previously owned New Balance trainers, we recommend selecting your usual size.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature performance-derived cushioning, they are engineered as lifestyle trainers for walking and casual daily use.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid fully immersing the shoes in water.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design is a collaboration with Joe Freshgoods, drawing inspiration from high-saturation music videos of the late 90s and archival New Balance models.
Is the sole unit replaceable?
No, the ABZORB-cushioned sole unit is integrated into the structure of the shoe and is not replaceable.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt trapped in the mesh wave pattern
Use a soft, dry toothbrush to gently agitate and dislodge debris from the crevices without wetting the material.
Creasing on the synthetic overlays
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the materials maintain their original shape and structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ABZORB1890 trainers maintain their aesthetic, avoid machine washing, which can damage the textured layers and mesh. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh, and a damp cloth with mild soap for the synthetic overlays. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. Given the unique color palette, they pair well with monochromatic streetwear or neutral-toned casual wear to let the design features stand out.
