New Balance 1000 “Arid Stone” M1000N
The New Balance 1000 “Arid Stone” doesn’t follow the usual grey formula. This colourway lands with a tan and grey mix, sharpened by metallic silver overlays and subtle green accents. It’s a clean take that leans into outdoor energy without going full trail shoe.
The upper fuses mesh and synthetic layers for structure, breathability, and texture. Reflective hits add detail without shouting. Below, the midsole offers cushioned comfort for all-day wear, whether that’s pavement or packed dirt.
It wears like a daily runner but carries the attitude of a retro hiker. The chunky outsole grips well, the build feels steady, and the colour palette makes it easy to wear with cargos, denim, or utility shorts. Green pops on the heel and tongue round things off with just enough flair.
It’s built for movement, but the look holds its own in the city. For fans of the NB 9060 or 2002R who want something tougher in tone, this ticks the box. Neutral, wearable, with a bit of an edge.
