New Balance 2000 'Faded Blue' U200015V Men's & Women's Sneakers

The New Balance 2000 'Faded Blue' (style code U200015V) is a unisex retro runner on the brand's early-2000s tech silhouette, finished in a washed, sun-faded blue across layered suede and mesh. The muted tone looks broken in from day one, like a favorite pair you have owned for years rather than something fresh out of the box.

Why you'll want this pair

• Soft, wearable color: A faded denim-blue tone that sits comfortably next to indigo jeans, cream, grey, and olive.
• Premium materials: Pigskin suede and synthetic overlays layered over breathable mesh for depth and structure.
• Cushioned all day: ABZORB cushioning in the midsole absorbs impact through commutes and long walks on hard pavement.
• Chunky retro profile: A sculpted runner shape built to sit under wide-leg denim, cargos, and track pants.
• Durable traction: Rubber outsole with a multi-directional tread for grip on wet city streets.

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.

What does the Faded Blue colorway look like?
A washed, muted denim-style blue across the suede and mesh upper with tonal detailing and a neutral midsole.

How do I clean 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.
