In nearly all of their collaborations, United Arrows has aimed for a minimal, near entirely achromatic visual aesthetic. And their series of New Balances, which have added new releases nearly every season, is now bringing said motifs to yet another silhouette: the 1700.

As it’s hued entirely in a dark grey, the offering is for the most part straightforward. More akin to a store exclusive, the pair changes seemingly very little about the overall construction; the Japanese imprint has simply preferred to filter the USA made composition in a tone more appropriately paired with their mainline collection of garments. The neutral works its way into the suede found along the entirety of the upper — providing these panels a near dusty appearance as a result — while the embroidered insignia contrast in bright white threading. Soles tweak to match though with a few hits of light grey sprinkled along the heel and back tread.
