New Balance Presents the 2010 Shoe in a Linen Colorway

— July 12, 2025 — Fashion
New Balance shines a spotlight on its 2010 sneaker model as the latest tonal iteration of a Linen colorway hits the silhouette. This joins the brand's roster for the summer season and officially hits the market on July 23rd. The silhouette stems from retro influences with the familiar elements of the 1000 running series by the brand.

The Linen update brings attention to the intricate design by not showing off its color in a bold way. This keeps the model sophisticated and understated. The earthy tones include a clean white base with suede materials -- it creates a luxe yet soft feel. This is then contrasted by Desert Clat underlaying the model along with the breahtable open mesh for some depth.
