Stone Island<\/a> and New Balance<\/a> link up again with the ABZORB 1890<\/a>, a trainer that ties archival references to a sharp, modern performance aesthetic.<\/p>\n

The design leans on New Balance\u2019s 2002 sole heritage while layering on Stone Island\u2019s fabric-focused, technical mindset. It lands as the hero sneaker in their SUMMER_\u2019026 capsule, aimed at fans who want function and design in equal measure.<\/p>\n

Design and materials focus<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The ABZORB 1890 starts from the ground up with the original 2002 sole unit, using full-length SBS ABZORB cushioning to keep the ride soft and responsive without blowing out the proportions of the shoe.<\/p>\n

That choice anchors the model in New Balance\u2019s running lineage, but the upper clearly carries Stone Island\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

Micro ripstop mesh forms the base, giving the trainer a lightweight, grid-textured body that still reads technical. No-sew synthetic overlays create a wave cutout construction across the upper, adding depth and structure without the bulk of traditional stitching.<\/p>\n

At the toe, a high-frequency welded reflective \u201cteardrop\u201d detail catches light and adds a subtle focal point that ties back to the capsule\u2019s football-flavored visual language.<\/p>\n

The overall look stays clean but intricate. Lines stay fluid, materials feel purposeful, and nothing looks added just for effect.<\/p>\n

Comfort, heritage and everyday wear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Underfoot, full-length SBS ABZORB cushioning runs the length of the midsole, so the 1890 wears like a modern comfort runner even though it leans heavily into design. The 2002 tooling gives it familiar proportions for New Balance fans, which helps the shoe sit naturally in a rotation that already includes 2002R or 1906 pairs.<\/p>\n

Stone Island\u2019s approach keeps the upper breathable and supportive, making the 1890 feel viable for long days on foot rather than a sneaker you only pull out for styled fits. It reads lifestyle first, but the platform underneath still comes from performance thinking.<\/p>\n

Launch timing and access<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Stone Island and New Balance ABZORB 1890 drops on June 4, 2026<\/strong>, as part of the wider Summer_\u2019026 capsule.\u00a0Stone Island plans to release it through select flagship locations and online, with New Balance partners and key boutiques also expected to carry pairs depending on region.<\/p>\n

Campaign visuals, shot by\u00a0Bolade Banjo<\/strong>, place the shoe on rising football talent, tying the trainer to a performance-adjacent, street-ready narrative rather than a pure terrace or trail story.<\/p>\n

For collectors, this release adds another chapter to a collaboration that consistently sits at the intersection of technical fabrication and classic New Balance DNA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stone Island and
