New Balance’s Tokyo Design Studio outpost aim to extend the boundaries beyond conventional design and focus on innovation, while keeping within the American brand’s rich heritage of footwear design, with recent releases of the fan-favourite 1300 and revolutionary Niobium 3-in-1 boot, the studio always brings surprises in each new creative project that arises.

2021 sees New Balance reunite with Snow Peak for a triple black update of the R_C4 Mid silhouette. A mix of outdoor and high-tech detail have been used while Snow Peak’s distinctive Japanese craftsmanship is displayed throughout each element of the shoe. A GORE-TEX membrane and Cordura rip-stop upper sit alongside other features including a VIBRAM outsole and ENCAP REVEAL midsole.
