New Balance Abzorb 2000 'Pumpernickel Cortado' U200076U Men's & Women's Sneakers

The New Balance Abzorb 2000 'Pumpernickel Cortado' (style code U200076U) is a unisex retro runner in a rich food-named palette: deep pumpernickel brown layered with warm cortado tan. Suede and mesh panels across the early-2000s tech silhouette give the color real depth, and the sculpted midsole puts the ABZORB cushioning on display.
