AUGUST 2025 IS SHAPING UP to be a big month for sneaker fans, with New Balance dropping a fresh wave of colourways that are already turning heads – and, in some cases, selling out in record time. The neutral‑toned 204L sneaker, a little Miu Miu‑inspired moment, barely lasted a day on shelves, proving just how strong the appetite is for versatile, wear‑anywhere kicks.

And there’s more to come, including the timberwolf with linen colourway landing on August 13, 2025, at 10:00 am (AEST). From heritage silhouettes to next‑gen running tech, this month’s palette blends muted neutrals with sharp pops of colour, giving both collectors and casual wearers something to chase.

What are the new New Balance colourways for August 2025?

New Balance’s August 2025 line-up is packed with fresh takes on some of its most-loved silhouettes. Highlights include the upcoming timberwolf with linen (dropping August 13, 2025, at 10:00 am AEST). Other standouts feature the 327 in linen with rich oak or dark alpine green, and the Fresh Foam X 880v15 in shoreline blue with black and grey Matter.

It’s a mix of versatile neutrals and bold pops of colour designed to work from daily wear to performance running. There are more colourways available now via newbalance.com.

When does the New Balance 204L timberwolf with linen release?

The New Balance 204L timberwolf with linen is set to release on August 13, 2025, at 10:00 am (AEST). You can sign up for release notifications via newbalance.com, ensuring you don’t miss the drop. Following the sold‑out beige edition, this neutral colourway offers the same minimal, wearable design with a fresh twist.

How can I style the new New Balance colourways?

New Balance’s August 2025 line-up leans heavily into versatile neutrals and clean, understated tones –making them easy to style. The 204L timberwolf with linen, for example, works just as well with relaxed denim and a plain white tee as it does with tailored trousers and a boxy overshirt for a smarter edge.

Meanwhile, bolder drops like the 327 in dark alpine green pair neatly with lightweight chinos and a simple crew neck, letting the colourway do the talking. The key? Keep it minimal up top and let the sneakers take focus – they’re designed to move effortlessly from off-duty to out-for-dinner without a second thought.
