New Balance is back with its annual Grey Days collection for May 2026. This year's edition is the largest yet, bringing together 20 shoes in shades of grey, from lifestyle and running to skate and children's models. The collection highlights the brand's grey signature colour with both new and returning models.

New Balance builds Grey Days around grey, a part of the brand's identity since the 1980s. Back then the brand chose grey as a practical option for city running, at a time when many competitors went for bright neon colours and white.
This year's collection gathers both new releases and models already familiar in the range.
Grey Days 2026 comprises 20 shoes. The selection covers several parts of New Balance's range, with models for running, everyday wear, children and skate. That makes the collection broader than a typical colour drop.
Among the selected models are FuelCell Rebel v5, 1080v15, ABZORB 2010, ABZORB 2000, ABZORB 1890 and 5030. Also included are 204L, 9060, 574, 327, T500, 2002R, 1906R, 530 and 471.
The Grey Shop opens on 1 May at NewBalance.com and in New Balance stores. The collection is also sold at selected retailers throughout May.
The launch happens in several stages during the month. ABZORB 2010 arrives on 8 May, ABZORB 2000 and ABZORB 5030 release on 15 May, and ABZORB 1890 along with Numeric 770 follow on 22 May.
In addition to shoes, grey clothing is also part of the range.
