Scheduled to launch this October, the pair comes with glow-in-the-dark outsoles and a glossy finish.

Aminé has officially revealed his upcoming New Balance Biblioteca 2000, announcing that the pair will be released on October 3, 2025, at a retail price of $170 USD. The artist took to Instagram to share the news, giving fans a first detailed look at the vibrant design while also tying the launch to a community-driven initiative.

Shifting his focus from past collaborations on the 740 and 610, Aminé reimagines the ABZORB 2000, a sneaker rooted in early-2000s technical running aesthetics. The model incorporates a full-length ABZORB cushioning setup with ABZORB SBS pods, delivering comfort and performance. Its futuristic, streamlined upper comes in a bold acid green hue, paired with glow-in-the-dark soles and a glossy finish for extra flair.

Adding to its exclusivity, the release includes custom packaging inspired by the bookdrop at the North Portland Branch Library, featuring Aminé’s New Balance wordmark. Beyond the sneakers themselves, Aminé has invited fans to donate books to the Portland library for a chance to win a pair, blending his creative vision with a charitable cause that supports his local community.
