Rat sneakers? The idea doesn’t sound very appealing, but the execution from mita Sneakers on the first-ever New Balance 247 collab will have you thinking differently. One of Japan’s most renowned sneaker shops presents the “Tokyo Rat” 247, featuring a grey and light orange colorway and hairy suede upper inspired by the local legend of a breed of rats that never sleep. The 24/7 hustle of the rat ties to the name of the sleek and sporty new silhouette from New Balance, designed to be the perfect fashion-forward sneaker that’s versatile enough for your daily grind.
The mita Sneakers x New Balance 247 “Tokyo Rat” is available now exclusively at mita Sneakers. The shoe will also drop with a wider global release date at select New Balance retailers on February 11th. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more info on the global release.
