The New Balance 1000 “Grey/Burgundy”, exclusive to JD Sports, revives the late-’90s runner/hiking hybrid with a colourway that balances rugged attitude with streetwear polish.
Up top, the upper makes use of mesh, synthetic leather, and suede layers. The base mesh transitions in tones of medium to dark grey, while burgundy touches hit the “N” logo, the heel, and lace loops, giving a rich contrast that pulls from collegiate and fall aesthetics. These colour pops are enough to stand out, but placed discretely so the overall look remains versatile.
Reflective detailing subtly elevates the package: small hits in the overlays and perhaps on branding or under layers that catch light, giving the sneaker a bit of flash when walking about at dusk.
Underneath, the 1000 doesn’t just look technical it delivers. It features ABZORB cushioning in both the forefoot and heel, delivering a softer ride than it might seem at first glance. A Stability Web shank ensures support in the midfoot, keeping the foot locked in but avoiding stiffness. The outsole is made from grippy rubber.
