New Balance 2010 "Brighton Grey Linen" U2010TTO

The New Balance 2010 “Brighton Grey Linen” blends bold colour blocking with premium materials, creating a trainer that stands out without losing its heritage appeal. Bright pink mesh dominates the upper, giving the shoe an energetic base. Black pigskin suede overlays add depth and contrast, while dark burgundy panels wrap the midfoot for a richer tone. Light blue hits on the toe and foxing introduce a softer counterpoint, keeping the palette balanced.

Grey “N” logos sit neatly on each sidewall, tying in with the cream laces that add a subtle vintage feel. Co-branded tongue and sockliner labels reinforce the collaborative detail, while the layered textures across the shoe keep the design visually engaging from every angle.

Underfoot, a chunky foam midsole delivers lasting comfort, built around New Balance’s segmented ABZORB sole unit. This tech, known from several 2000s-era favourites, returns here with exaggerated proportions that make it as much a design feature as a cushioning system. Enlarged ABZORB SBS pods at the heel further soften each step, providing impact absorption whether worn casually or on longer days out.

The diamond-knit mesh underlay keeps airflow steady, adding function to its layered construction. Every element, from the vibrant upper to the plush midsole, reflects a mix of modern reimagining and archival cues.

The “Brighton Grey Linen” offers more than just strong visuals — it combines heritage-inspired comfort with a forward look, making it an easy pick for those who value both design and everyday wearability.
