The Abzorb 2000 is a 2025 lifestyle runner from New Balance featuring ABZORB cushioning and a chunky retro silhouette. It draws design cues from the 2002R and 990 families while establishing its own identity with unique overlay patterns.
Is the NB 2000 the same as the Abzorb 2000?
Yes, they are the same shoe. Some retailers list it as the New Balance 2000 while others use the full Abzorb 2000 name. The style codes start with U2000 for unisex sizing.
How does the Abzorb 2000 compare to the 2002R?
The Abzorb 2000 is a newer design with a slightly different shape and ABZORB-specific cushioning. The 2002R has a larger following and more collab history, but the Abzorb 2000 is competitively priced and offers a fresh alternative.
Is the Abzorb 2000 comfortable?
The ABZORB midsole provides good impact absorption for daily wear. It is comparable to the comfort level of the 2002R — supportive and cushioned enough for all-day use without being overly soft.
