New Balance AO9 – “A09 for A22”

For their S/S 2008 collection, New Balance is releasing their “A09 for A22” pack. Very similar to their previous Japan-only release of the A09s, these A09’s also come with a one piece hemp-canvas upper, and in colorways of Black, Dark Olive, and Natural. However, these limited edition kicks also come with some nice beadwork on the laces, and retain the classic, thoroughly Japanese, and minimalistic design of the originals. Look for these to remain a Japan-exclusive. Via Mita
