Aminé’s third New Balance collaboration might just be his best yet. Following on from the banana-obsessed 610 “Mooz” and the crisp blue “Benson Tech” 740, the Abzorb 2000 “Biblioteca” brings us back to Aminé’s Portland roots – this time, with a trip to the local library. The result is a hyper-loud silhouette packed with nostalgia and community pride, dressed in blinding shades of acid green, layered synthetic textures and library-themed details. And yes, glow-in-the-dark accents are included.
The details on this pair go way deeper than surface level. From the library card insoles to the tongue’s “rules list” print, every element is a reference to the North Portland Library that inspired it. ABZORB and SBS cushioning tech underfoot keeps it comfortable while vivid neon green hits on the midsole and oversized “N” logo bring the personality. Oh, and Aminé’s been sipping matcha in the promo vid, just in case you were wondering if this qualifies as health goth approved.
Dropping on October 3, 2025, the Aminé x New Balance Abzorb 2000 “Biblioteca” will initially be available through Club Banana for $170, with wider release details expected to follow.
