Huynam: Wasabi?
Okajima: The base color is not a bright green, but a slightly grayish wasabi color. The insole of the right foot is designed with the word "wasabi".
Huynem: Indeed, nice and calm colors.
Okajima: Another thing we were particular about this time was the material. The regular model has a coarse diamond mesh, but we changed it to a fine, slightly shiny mesh like that of the 900 series.
Huynh Nam: It's quite a different impression.
Okajima: The suede is also made of pigskin, and the overall finish is elegant. The embroidery of "2010" on the side of the heel is another key point.
Huynem: How comfortable are they?
Okajima: As expected of New Balance, they are quite good. It has a classic look, but the comfort is very modern.
