New Balance: the new grey sneakers give retro style a new lease of life

Gray is taking over the lifestyle sneaker market. With New Balance, this tone becomes a chic and easy code. In this way, it links retro to our everyday wear, without forcing the issue.

Grey, a reassuring standard

The Bostonian label relies on nuance to last. At New Balance, this choice calms volumes and secures looks. In this way, style appears precise, even when the sole gains in character.

The mix of mesh and suede enhances the material and relief. What’s more, the gray patina ages well and stands up to fashions. Wear them to the office, then out for a stress-free evening.

The 992 Grey Made in USA 2025 features deep suede and breathable mesh. Priced at 230 euros, the Made in USA finish and reassuring comfort will appeal to walkers.

“Grey can be worn everywhere, effortlessly.”

Choose according to use

The ABZORB 2010 takes a running look from the 2000s. Its ABZORB foam promises soft, stable support.

The 471 has a trail feel, with a notched sole. In gray, it swings from dirt to asphalt with aplomb.

• Measure the foot at the end of the day, with the foot flat.
• Care for gray suede: soft brush and protective spray.
• Pair with raw denim, soft suit or tone-on-tone jersey.
• Identify key cushioning, stability and breathability.
• Test the pair standing: heel wedged, forefoot relaxed.

For active daily life, the company offers clear lines. From now on, New Balance mixes athletic comfort with dressy shapes. As a result, there’s less duplication in your wardrobe.

Strong pairs of the moment

The Numeric 933 is designed for skateboarding, with a sturdy upper and precise reinforcements. Its sole also grips well and handles tricks.

The 1300JP remains a heritage staple, clean and straight. In gray, it structures raw denim or a clean chino.

Demand extends from running to the office, without a break. In short, the New Balance brand reads these uses and adjusts its ranges. In this way, each grey capsule speaks to a specific audience.

The 740 cites the archival sneaker, high collar and support. The gray tone balances volume and refines the ankle.

Design and feel

The 9060 features a sculpted sole and muted cushioning. Yet the gray hue retains a controlled futuristic allure.

The 1000 revives y2k lines, edgy and openwork. Then, the gray color unites the panels and calms the reading.

Stability reassures those who walk a lot, every day. That’s why New Balance uses reliable foams and breathable uppers. The result is style without foot fatigue.

From sport to the city

The T500 ticks the short, clean, pragmatic box. In gray, it holds up well to smart casual silhouettes.

The Fresh Foam X 1080v14 is primarily designed for the long stride. What’s more, its Fresh Fo am X foam makes the city more supple.

The 1906L Loafer “Raincloud” (U1906LGR) blends moccasin and technical sole. The Raincloud shade adds an easy preppy twist.

Codes cross seamlessly, from retro to modern. In fact, the label refines its grays to remain legible in photographs. With New Balance, the wardrobe gains in comfort and consistency.
