New Balance 2000 'Silver Metallic' U20005UW Men's & Women's Sneakers

The New Balance 2000 'Silver Metallic' (style code U20005UW) is a unisex retro runner finished head to toe in chrome silver. Metallic panels wrap the early-2000s tech silhouette and catch light with every step, making this the loudest and most collectible version of the 2000 lineup without using a single bright color.

Why you'll want this pair

• Full chrome finish: Reflective silver metallic across the upper, the Y2K look that keeps selling out season after season.
• Technically neutral: Silver behaves like a neutral, so it works with black, grey, denim, and cream without clashing.
• 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 silver finish reflective?
Yes. The metallic panels have a chrome-like sheen that picks up light, which is what gives this colorway its Y2K character.

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 a metallic upper?
Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth and mild soap only, avoid brushes and solvents that can dull the finish, 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.
