Shop 10 of New Balance's Boldest Colorways Here
When you look through New Balance’s lifestyle collection, you’ll be greeted mostly by muted hues that nod to the classic navy and grey of the ‘80s. It’s what New Balance is known for and NB stans love it. But, on the other end of the spectrum, New Balance’s more modern silhouettes — largely the performance running category — feature some of the boldest palettes on the market.
This is one of the things that always draws us to New Balance: few brands stretch the scale of retro to modern with such finesse. New Balance is the MVP on both counts.
But the colorful New Balance colorways get much less airtime than their more restrained, retro counterparts. That’s to be expected, because the New Balance 991 is far more popular than the Hierro V7 GTX when it comes to everyday wear. But we think that these bright, unsung heroes deserve some love, so we’ve rounded up some of the best colorful New Balance colorways to wear in spring below.

FuelCell Propel v4
The New Balance FuelCell Propel v4 comes in some of the brand's most considered colorways. Featuring fluorescent hits that play into the technical, performance character of the silhouette, each colorway is well thought out, never going overboard with all-out color but utilizing flashes of highlight hues instead.
Fresh Foam X More v4
The same goes for this Lapis colorway of the Fresh Foam X More v4. The white sole unit complements the slightly washed-out blue palette, which catches the eye, but doesn't scream for attention.
FuelCell SuperComp
FuelCell SuperComp Trainer
One of New Balance's super shoes, the FuelCell SuperComp is an elite running sneaker, but forget about the long list of technical wins; we're only here for the wild colorways.
Fresh Foam X Hierro v7
In terms of trail running, New Balance's market share relies firmly on the Fresh Foam X Hierro v7. This technical runner features a robust Vibram outsole and waterproof uppers that are dressed in some seriously unmissable colorways.
Fresh Foam X 860v13
Much like the earlier Fresh Foam X More v4 colorway, this pair of cobalt blue 860v13s forms the ideal colorful finish to your fits without going over the top.
FuelCell Rebel v3
Your spring/summer running schedule is so much more fun when you're wearing a pair of kicks that matches the sun.
FuelCell Rebel TR
Colorful New Balance sneakers aren't always the brightest. This pair of Fuelcell Rebel TRs boasts a relatively muted palette aside from the pale pink midsole.
