New Balance works in collaboration with sneaker care brand MARQUEEPLAYER and Japanese boutique store Mita Sneakers on a special pair of shoes. The three brands decorate a pair of the New Balance 580 shoes with a retro touch. It is adorned with technical elements prepared for the outdoors.
The shoes are designed to combat adverse weather with the mixed material built throughout the paneling uppers. Usually, the shoes are made from leather and suede but this time, it is detailed with technical mesh instead. This continues with a patterned main panel and finished with a glowing paint splatter visual. Rounding out the shoes are the GORE-TEX technology and Vibram outsole unit to give it a protective weatherized coating.
