New Balance P400 Arrives in Black/Boysenberry
New Balance continues its basketball roster overhaul with the P400 in a nocturnal Black/Boysenberry colorway. The inline model pairs a mesh upper with dual Fresh Foam X and EVA cushioning, marking the brand's definitive move away from the Fresh Foam BB lineage and toward numbered silhouettes built for performance.

New Balance's basketball division is entering unmistakable transition territory. With Tyrese Maxey set to debut his maiden signature model and Cooper Flagg's sophomore shoe presumably in development, the Boston brand has signaled serious intent to build its roster beyond the Kawhi Leonard era. The infrastructure supporting those marquee athletes now includes a revamped inline collection that reflects the brand's design philosophy: heritage aesthetics married to court-ready durability.
The P400 embodies that directive. It represents New Balance's formal departure from the Fresh Foam BB series in favor of a numbered system—P400 and P350—that strips away unnecessary design language and commits to functional minimalism.
Design Details
The P400 construction prioritizes impact absorption over flash. A mesh upper provides breathability and structure, while the real engineering lives underfoot: a dual-cushioning stack pairing Fresh Foam X with EVA foam designed to handle the violence of cuts, jumps, and lateral landings endemic to basketball.
The Black/Boysenberry colorway takes a measured approach to visual interest. Deep black serves as the dominant canvas, with boysenberry accents—a dusty, wine-toned purple—introducing sophistication rather than loudness. Fan Blue neon trim provides the obligatory contrast hit, rendered as accent lighting rather than dominating panels. The execution suggests restraint: a sporty, darkened palette that works on-court and off.
Release and Availability
The New Balance P400 in Black/Boysenberry (SKU: UFFBB5CD) released July 22, 2026, at $130 via NewBalance.com. The price point positions it as accessible performance footwear—a calculated positioning as New Balance continues building credibility in a category long dominated by category incumbents.
