And someone else wrote: "These are so stylish and go with any outfit. Always get many compliments when I wear them. I would highly recommend them." However, not everyone was pleased with the aesthetics, as one reviewer critiqued the colourway of grey, yellow, and white (described as moonrock with moonbeam concrete), saying: "The shoes are great but this colour doesn't look good."

New Balance's upcoming drop sends a clear message to rivals
It's not exactly a secret anymore: New Balance isn't just for dads. The brand has fully shed its "dad shoe" reputation, trading in normcore jokes for fashion credibility, TikTok virality, and serious sneakerhead clout. What started as a quiet cool factor has turned into full-on cultural dominance - from streetwear collabs to front-row fashion week appearances. Related: Nike reverses course as weak sales raise alarm But the real story isn't that New Balance is cool now -it's that it has stayed cool, and continues to win with smart product drops that resonate with younger consumers. That matters in an industry where hype fades fast. The brand's upcoming drop is a perfect example. Minimalist, playful, and totally on-trend, the sneaker is tailored to an audience that shops with both style and status in mind. And while the silhouette leans into the nostalgic Y2K feel that's hot right now, it does so without feeling derivative. As a sneakerhead myself, I honestly may just need to get a pair myself. The message to rivals? This isn't a comeback. It's a takeover. According to Hypebeast, New Balance's upcoming sneaker drop is set for June 5. The 2002R "Pastel Blue" might look soft and subtle, but the message behind it is loud. New Balance is leaning into what it does best: pairing performance roots with aesthetic-forward colorways that hit right where culture lives now. The 2002R silhouette has already seen a renaissance in the past two years, becoming a go-to in New Balance's lifestyle lineup. With the pastel update, the brand taps directly into Gen Z's obsession with muted tones, minimal styling, and nostalgic comfort. This isn't a general release sneaker - it's a curated fashion move. Related: On sneakers is tapping into a market Nike missed And this kind of curation has become a New Balance trademark. Through high-heat collaborations with brands like Kith, CNCPTS, and Joe Freshgoods, the company has managed to capture attention from both sneaker veterans and casual fashion fans. New Balance's ability to own both lanes at once makes it unique in a market crowded with brands trying to be all things to all people. By launching another buzzy colorway into an already high-performing silhouette, New Balance is reminding sneakerheads and investors alike: it knows exactly what it's doing. While New Balance has clearly built a cultural moment, it's also translating that momentum into real business growth. According to Yahoo Finance, New Balance had a banner year in 2024, racking up $7.8 billion in global sales - a 20% jump from the year prior. CEO Joe Preston believes that momentum will continue, stating the brand is on track to hit $10 billion in the coming years. While legacy giants like Nike and Adidas continue to dominate overall market share, New Balance's selective strategy, premium positioning, and underdog advantage have helped it carve out a distinct lane and gain serious ground. New Balance's approach is less about flooding the market and more about building meaning with thoughtful collabs, selective partnerships, and a sharp read on what today's consumer actually wants. The hype feels earned because it is. From curated colorways to tapping into fashion culture without trying too hard, New Balance has become the rare sneaker brand that balances heritage with heat. And when it comes to visibility, the brand isn't relying on gimmicks. It's showing up in the right places, with the right people - and doing it consistently. Honestly, I'm so here for it. Be right back while I go set an alarm for the drop. Related: Nike delivers bad news for customers The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.
