ABZORB 1890 Nordic Green / Wakame / Outfield

The New Balance ABZORB 1890 is the most electrifying silhouette in the NB catalog in 2026 — introduced via the Action Bronson collaboration, then followed by drops with JoeFreshGoods, Stone Island, and JJJJound. In the Nordic Green / Wakame / Outfield colorway, it takes on a 90s outdoor-trail direction that contrasts with the other more lifestyle colorways.

The tan mesh base — light sand beige — covers the upper with a visual lightness that highlights the Nordic Green TPU wave cutout overlays. These overlays, borrowed from the synthetic wave cutout pattern of the archival 890v3 running shoe, create a texture evocative of water droplets or overlapping leaves. The kelly green Wakame accents sharply contrast with the branding elements and details. Underfoot, the neon green ABZORB cushioning — perhaps the most striking detail of this colorway — illuminates the sole with unexpected chromatic energy. The suede overlays at the heel, in Outfield (olive-brown) color, anchor and balance the overall look.

The toggle lacing system — quick-adjust toggle cords instead of traditional laces — accentuates the functional outdoor DNA of this version and visually distinguishes it from other 1890s.
