The New Balance 1000 trainer in mushroom/arid stone gets kitted out in reinforced Cordura uppers for added durability in the colder months.
It’s that time of year when mushrooms start popping up in your rockery & your hallucinogenic loving’ mate knocking on 40 still think it’s perfectly normal to head up int’ hills and look for a certain type of ‘psilocybe semilanceata’, if you know what I mean? Best leave the latter to those who know what they’re doing, or probably not after things turn sour, which let’s be honest they always do. I have strange memories of chasing rabbits across a field near Todmorden somewhere in the early noughties in the pitch black with a weird impending doom feeling like you were living in a medieval realm you couldn’t escape from which was somehow connected to the very earth you picked the sinister little bastards from. Obviously none of that ever happened, but you only live once don’t you? Anyway away from the mushy season nostalgia, New Balance have just dropped a mushroom inspired 1000 trainer which is also kitted out in Cordura just in time for the Autumn/Winter months.
If adidas are all about city names when it comes to trainers, for New Balance it’s definitely all about the numbers. In fact does every New Balance trainer have a number in it? More than likely. After giving us their highly respected 99x series, and a brief hiatus, New Balance released the 1000 trainer in 1999. If you were knocking about in ’99 you were probably wearing Air Max, Reebok Classics, or maybe an adidas Torsion. You certainly weren’t wearing New Balance with your trackies, unless you were serious runner or Doug Heffernan trying to get in shape at the local gym. That’s the whole beauty of this New Balance revival, which has been going on for what seems like forever, because the brand was strictly about performance. After 26 years since its original release back in the late 90s, the 1000 now returns in an updated Cordura version.
The archival runner now swaps the concrete roads for the woodland trails with an updated ‘mushroom version’. Kitted out in suede & mesh uppers which is reinforced with Cordura for added durability, the 1000 also features New Balance’s state-of-the-art ABZORB sole technology. Featuring hiking inspired laces with tonal browns throughout & NB’s signature ‘N’ branding to the sidewalls, the New Balance 1000 Cordura trainer in mushroom/arid stone will look the part with some technical outerwear whether you’re in a pub up in the Pennines or popping into town.
