The New Balance 2010R 'Linen Desert Clay' brings an earthy, tonal execution to the performance-inspired silhouette, balancing retro trail aesthetics with elevated material work. As part of New Balance’s ongoing refinement of tech-runner designs, this colorway leans into muted warmth and subtle contrast.
The upper layers linen-colored mesh with suede and synthetic overlays in various shades of beige and clay, creating a natural gradient across the shoe. The midfoot’s structural overlays add depth, while burnt orange accents on the heel and outsole introduce just enough pop to disrupt the neutrality.
Underfoot, the 2010R retains its ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning setup, offering a blend of comfort and stability drawn from its performance roots. A segmented rubber outsole delivers trail-ready grip with streetwear-level versatility.
