Stone Island x New Balance ABZORB 1890 "Deep Forest" U1890SI

The Stone Island x New Balance ABZORB 1890 “Deep Forest” brings football-inspired style into a modern lifestyle runner built for today’s sneaker scene. Combining archival New Balance influences with Stone Island’s distinctive approach to materials and design, this collaborative release delivers a fresh silhouette that feels equally rooted in the past and focused on the future.

At first glance, the ABZORB 1890 stands apart from traditional runners. The upper features lightweight micro ripstop mesh layered beneath a striking teardrop cutout structure inspired by the classic New Balance 890v3. This unique construction exposes sections of the mesh underneath, creating depth, texture, and a technical aesthetic that immediately catches the eye. TPU support elements reinforce the upper while maintaining a lightweight feel for daily wear.

The “Deep Forest” colourway perfectly suits the model’s outdoor-inspired character. Rich green tones flow across the upper, creating a versatile look that feels sporty, refined, and easy to style. Reflective accents add subtle contrast throughout the design, while speckled laces introduce an extra layer of visual detail. Stone Island’s iconic Compass logo appears on the tongue, giving the collaboration a signature finishing touch.

Beneath the upper sits a cushioning platform borrowed from New Balance’s performance heritage. A full-length ABZORB SBS system works alongside a compression foam midsole to provide excellent comfort and support. Whether you’re spending long hours on your feet or simply adding them to your rotation, the cushioning setup delivers a smooth ride with dependable stability.

The influence of 1990s football culture runs throughout the collection, but the ABZORB 1890 never feels stuck in the past. Instead, it reinterprets those ideas through modern materials, contemporary proportions, and forward-thinking design choices.
