New Balance has become known for producing an annual Lunar New Year-themed collection based on the zodiac calendar. After dropping four sneakers for the Year of the Snake at the beginning of 2025, the American sportswear brand has a six-shoe “Year of the Horse” collection set to drop at the beginning of 2026.
First up, the New Balance ABZORB 2000 embraces black across its technical upper, pairing it with silver and red accents. Its retro-inspired counterpart, the ABZORB 2010, is another key contributor and features a brown and silver composition that notably sports a textured tongue. Two on-theme iterations of the 204L are next, offering brown and white uppers respectively. Pony hair detailing hits the heel tab while an all-black sole rounds out each pair. Completing the range is the 574, which similarly finds itself adorned in two new looks. These monochromatic makeovers feature off-white and black from collar to sole, save for the red branding notes. New Balance has also prepared thematic apparel, from padded jackets to corduroy pants, to complement the footwear offerings.
For those looking to shop New Balance’s new “Year of the Horse” collection, it is set to drop exclusively via the brand and atmos on January 1, 2026. Prices start at ¥15,950 JPY (approx. $102 USD) for the 574 sneakers and go up to ¥25,300 JPY (approx. $162 USD) for the ABZORB 2000 colorway.
