New Balance Celebrates Lunar New Year 2025

As we embrace the Lunar New Year, New Balance celebrates the annual tradition with a celestial-themed collection that’s equal parts minimalism and innovation.

Inspired by the serene beauty of the moon’s grayscale landscape, the collection arrives on New Year’s Day and features four distinct silhouettes: the 1906R, 740, 1000, and the WRPD Runner. Each design embodies a blend of heritage and forward-thinking craftsmanship, with understated palettes that celebrate the elegance of simplicity.

A Closer Look at the New Balance Lunar New Year Collection…

The New Balance 2025 Lunar New Year collection kicks off with the 1906R, a nod to the brand’s 2000s-era running heritage. This silhouette features a gradient mesh upper transitioning from light to dark, evoking the moonlit sky, with overlays in soft white and grey adding texture. Reflective silver accents enhance its technical appeal, while a dark grey heel counter anchors the design. Similarly understated, the 740 boasts a clean white mesh upper with tonal overlays and a gradient midsole, offering a versatile option for those who appreciate retro-inspired refinement.

On the bolder side, the 1000 returns with a chunky, all-black build punctuated by sleek silver accents and curvilinear leather overlays that add dynamic visual depth. Its arched midsole and ‘1000’ branding on the lateral panel pay homage to its 1999 origins with a modern twist. Finally, the WRPD Runner embraces a futuristic aesthetic with its grey and beige hues, enlarged ‘N’ logos, and sculpted midsoles, showcasing New Balance’s innovative spirit. Together, these silhouettes blend heritage and modernity, making the collection a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts.
