New Balance has brought back the 1000 sneaker, originally launched in 1999, with a fresh “Dark Olivine” colorway that dropped on March 24, 2025. The retro runner features a sleek mix of dark green suede and mesh on the upper, paired with metallic silver accents for a bold yet understated look.
Its design stays true to the late ‘90s vibe, complete with a chunky ABZORB midsole for cushioning and a rubber outsole for durability. This release follows other recent 1000 drops like “Magnet/Plum Brown,” showing New Balance’s focus on reviving the model with modern twists.
Priced at $150, the “Dark Olivine” is available now through New Balance’s site and select retailers. The sneaker’s return taps into nostalgia while offering a clean, versatile style for today’s wearers, making it a solid addition to the brand’s growing retro lineup.
