References: newbalance & hypebeast
New Balance's skateboarding line, 'Numeric' works in collaboration with Thai skateboarding brand Preduce on a small pack of footwear that features two silhouettes in total. The 'Thai Pillow Pack' is the result of the two forces and it is inspired by the capsule's namesake.
The two silhouettes that make up the collection highlights Preduce's '255' and '659' models, both of which perfectly blend together Thai culture with skateboarding culture. The insoles highlight co-branding accents of both contributing labels in a golden hue. The laces arrive in three varying colorway options that are all detailed with contrasting accents that nod to Preduce's branding at the metal aglets. The Thai triangular pillows are the main inspiration behind the range and the color palette highlights blue, white, and maroon.
