New Balance Abzorb 2000 'Iridescent' U2000PPB Men's & Women's Sneakers

The New Balance Abzorb 2000 'Iridescent' (style code U2000PPB) is a unisex retro runner wrapped in a colour-shifting iridescent finish. Depending on the light, the upper pulls toward pearl, lilac, and green, which turns the early-2000s tech silhouette into the most attention-grabbing pair in the 2000 lineup without relying on a single bold color.

Why you'll want this pair

• Colour-shifting finish: The iridescent upper changes tone as the light moves, so no two photos of it look quite the same.
• Visible cushioning: The sculpted midsole showcases the ABZORB tech rather than hiding it.
• Cushioned all day: ABZORB cushioning absorbs impact through commutes, errands, and long hours on concrete.
• Chunky retro profile: A sculpted runner shape built to sit under wide-leg denim, cargos, and track pants.
• Surprisingly wearable: The pearl base reads neutral from a distance, so it works with black, grey, and denim just as easily as with brighter fits.

Frequently asked questions

What does an iridescent finish look like in person?
The upper shifts between pearl, lilac, and soft green tones depending on the angle and the light, rather than staying one fixed color.

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

What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is New Balance's midsole compound that combines cushioning with impact absorption, which is why this model handles long walks on concrete well.

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