For a brand known for its no-nonsense performance runners and having no celebrity endorsers, the above pictured release is quite the departure for New Balance. But when you collaborate with Toshizaku Iwaya, the man behind audacious Japanese fashion albel DRESSCAMP to design a shoe, you’re asking for avant garde. Check out this new DRESSCAMP x New Balance hightop, a model somewhere between ’80s basketball and typical NB trail running fare, but done in an insane marbled red leather. These seem like a perfect transition from simple, tonal looks into what we expect will be a resurrection of bolder colorways in the coming months, but would you wear ’em? via SF//ZOZO
