Full details
For adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort, the New Balance ABZORB 2010 trainers offer a versatile option for both athletic and casual wear. Their primary benefit lies in the fusion of classic design with advanced cushioning technology. A potential consideration is the specific fit, which may vary for individuals accustomed to different shoe profiles. This unisex model features a 'Phantom' mesh upper with 'Faded Black' nubuck overlays and reflective accents, integrating elements from New Balance's 99x and 9060 lineages. Key features include ABZORB SBS cushioning in the heel and forefoot, a TPU midfoot shank for stability, and an authentic silhouette inspired by early 2000s models.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance ABZORB 2010 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced performance features would be more appropriate.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, or try them on if possible. These trainers are unisex, so consider that sizing may differ slightly from gender-specific models.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the trainers.
What is the main difference between the 2010 and other New Balance series like the 99x?
The 2010 series takes design inspiration from the 99x and 9060 lineages, fusing early 2000s aesthetics with contemporary comfort technologies like ABZORB SBS cushioning, offering a distinct blend of retro and modern.
Are the reflective accents very prominent?
The reflective accents are designed to be utilitarian, offering increased visibility in low light without being overly flashy. They are subtle additions to the overall design.
How durable is the 'Phantom' mesh upper?
The 'Phantom' mesh is designed to be lightweight and breathable, offering good durability for everyday wear. It is complemented by more robust nubuck overlays for added structure and wear resistance.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try loosening the laces slightly, or check if any debris is trapped in the sole grooves.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot.
Nubuck material appears scuffed or discolored
Use a dedicated suede or nubuck brush to gently restore the nap. For deeper marks, consult a specialized shoe care guide or professional cleaner.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While ABZORB cushioning is durable, its effectiveness may lessen with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles for an added layer of comfort if needed.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the mesh and nubuck. For nubuck, a suede brush can be used to restore texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
