Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1890 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of early 2000s sport style and modern comfort. They offer excellent everyday support and cushioning thanks to the Abzorb midsole. A potential consideration is that the running-inspired construction might be best suited for casual wear rather than intense athletic training.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance 1890 Trainers feature a running-inspired construction and Abzorb cushioning, making them comfortable for general wear and light jogs. However, they are primarily designed for everyday comfort and style and may not offer the specialized support or performance required for competitive marathon running.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, or measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the listed UK shoe sizes. Ensure a comfortable fit by considering the width as well.

Can the cream laces be replaced?

Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced. You can purchase replacement laces in a similar color or a contrasting one to personalize your trainers.

What materials are used in the construction?

The trainers are made from a combination of synthetic material, pigskin leather, and textile material for the upper, with a rubber outsole and Abzorb midsole.

How should I care for the pigskin leather overlays?

Gently wipe the leather overlays with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture and allow to air dry.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the New Balance 1890 Trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.

What does 'Grey Day' refer to in the series name?

'Grey Day' is a New Balance tradition celebrating the brand's iconic grey footwear. The 'Grey Day' series often features special releases or collections highlighted by the color grey.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The Abzorb cushioning is designed for long-term comfort. If you notice a significant decrease, consider if your usage has increased in intensity. For normal wear, the cushioning should last. If defective, contact customer support.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn and laces are properly adjusted for a snug but not tight fit. Break-in the shoes with short periods of wear before longer durations.

Mesh upper becoming dirty

Spot clean the mesh gently with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh and leather with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
