New Balance 2000 'Black Red' U200028K Men's & Women's Sneakers

The New Balance 2000 'Black Red' (style code U200028K) is a unisex retro runner on the brand's early-2000s tech silhouette, done in a blacked-out suede and mesh upper with sharp red accents. It is the easiest version of this shoe to wear: dark enough to disappear into any outfit, with just enough red to keep it from looking plain.

Why you'll want this pair

• Goes with everything: A near-all-black base means it works with denim, black jeans, tailored pants, and gym fits alike.
• Premium materials: Pigskin suede and synthetic overlays layered over breathable mesh for texture and structure.
• Cushioned all day: ABZORB cushioning in the midsole absorbs impact through commutes and long walks.
• Chunky retro profile: A sculpted runner shape that sits well under wide-leg denim, cargos, and track pants.
• Low-maintenance color: Dark suede hides scuffs and city dirt far better than white or cream pairs.

Frequently asked questions

Does the New Balance 2000 run true to size?
Yes. Take your usual New Balance size; go up half a size if your feet are wide.

Is the New Balance 2000 comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. ABZORB cushioning and a padded collar suit long walks and standing, though it is a lifestyle shoe rather than a performance trainer.

Is this a men's or women's shoe?
It is unisex. Women typically convert by going down about 1.5 sizes from their US women's size.

How do I clean black suede sneakers?
Brush scuffs out with a dry suede brush and wipe the mesh with mild soapy water, then air dry away from heat. Never machine wash.

Are these authentic?
Yes, every pair ships brand new in the original box with all accessories.
