Plum and burgundy move through the layers of Rich Paul's New Balance ABZORB 2010. Open mesh provides the base, with suede and nubuck overlays adding denser surfaces around it. Velvet laces introduce another texture along the center of the upper. Paul's personal logo appears on the tongue, and shared branding continues onto the sockliner inside the shoe.
The collaboration applies those materials to the 2010's sculpted cushioning platform. ABZORB forms the midsole, with additional cushioning sections at the forefoot and heel and a translucent TPU support element through the sole. A dark maroon finish connects that underfoot structure with the warmer upper tones. The result is defined by its material changes as much as its palette, particularly the open mesh, soft overlays and velvet lacing set against the shaped sole.
