[Update 9 Apr 2025] New images of the BEAMS x New Balance 1000 have surfaced via @gonzo19891016. Check them out in the gallery above, and stay tuned for the pair’s arrival on 10 April.

The New Balance 1000, a cult-favorite silhouette from the brand’s archives, made a triumphant return in 2024—but it’s not stopping there. Already poised for a stylish upgrade, the retro runner is set to receive a sleek collaborative makeover courtesy of Japanese lifestyle powerhouse BEAMS.

About the BEAMS x New Balance 1000

At first glance, this collab sticks to the shoe’s signature black palette—a shade that’s been done and redone in both GRs and past partnerships. But look closer, BEAMS’ genius reveals itself in the details. Each shoe is a study in deliberate asymmetry: The right pair features a crisp white TPU “N” logo on the lateral side, while the left flips the script with black on its outer panel.

The material play is even wilder—one side serves up textured mesh and suede, while the other contrasts ripstop nylon with glossy patent leather. Even the laces get a futuristic upgrade with 3M hits, and while BEAMS keeps branding whisper-quiet, their signature orange subtly tints the insole’s New Balance script.

Release Details

The BEAMS x New Balance 1000 pre-launches on 10 April at the BEAMS pop-up in LA, with a wider release expected to follow via BEAMS and select retailers. Stay tuned for possible updates.
