Aminé and New Balance will release the Biblioteca 2000 sneaker on October 3. The collaboration evolves prior Aminé-New Balance partnerships and applies the ABZORB 2000 silhouette with full-length ABZORB cushioning and ABZORB SBS pods for comfort and innovation. The sneaker features an acid green, high-gloss upper with glow-in-the-dark sole units, merging nostalgic overlays with streamlined modern construction. Custom packaging draws inspiration from the bookdrop at the North Portland Branch Library and includes Aminé's New Balance wordmark connecting to his hometown. The release incorporates a community-driven campaign that uses the launch as an opportunity to give back.
Over the past few years, Aminé has emerged as one of New Balance's most creative collaborators. From his unique spin on the 740 to the versatile 610, his footwear partnerships have consistently blended personal storytelling with experimental style. This time, the artist takes on the ABZORB 2000, a silhouette rooted in early 2000s technical running shoes. Known for its full-length ABZORB cushioning and ABZORB SBS pods, the model delivers both comfort and innovation, making it a natural fit for Aminé's forward-thinking vision.
The Biblioteca 2000 stands out immediately thanks to its striking acid green foundation. The high-gloss finish across the upper gives the sneaker a polished, almost liquid-like aesthetic, while glow-in-the-dark sole units push the design into a space-age category. Fans of New Balance's heritage styles will notice the streamlined overlays and sleek construction of the upper, maintaining a balance between nostalgic design language and modern flair.
