Happy New Year all! Hope the holidaze was a good one. I’m sure everyone has been there done that and is ready to get on with the 007, so on to a couple updates…

Here’s a simple yet classy collab between NB and the United Arrows shop out of Japan, now available at ZOZOTOWN. Materials are oiled leather and canvas so I bet these are swanky in person. Looks like they are retailing at 18,900 yen in half sizes from 8-11. Jump here to purchase.

The first volume of the 100th anniversary NB x Mita x Atmos featured black/pink (Atmos) and navy/white (Mita) colorways.

Here’s volume 2 coming up on Nov 3rd, continuing the trend of one wild, one conservative with a purple/black (Atmos) and gray/navy (Mita) model. They’re listed now in the Atmos store so my guess is you can buy them now and they ship on 11/3 - anyone?

We gonna party like - it’s ya birthday…

New Balance has teamed up with Japanese shops, Mita and Atmos for some 100th birthday 1700s. These are scheduled for release on Sept 16th.
Mita comes clean with a navy/grey/cream/white upper and blood red interior! Nice gold accents as well on the “1700″ thread and lace rivets. If you’re after something bolder look no further than the Atmos with a rich black suede & cream leather upper and hot pink toe.
