Why are sneakers in rescue colors so stylish? The answer lies in the golden duo that has produced a series of masterpiece models.

New Balance and the N.HOOLYWOOD TEST PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVICE have been releasing unique and clever collaborative models.

In a nutshell, the label focuses on military items, which can be said to be the roots of Daisuke Ohana, the designer of "N. HOLYWOOD," and reinterprets them for town use.

Launched in 2015, this popular collaboration series, which has produced a number of masterpieces, has finally reached its seventh installment. This time, the lifestyle model "ML850" is a modified version of the running model "850," which was first introduced in 1996.

¥17,800+TAX SIZE: D/ 23.5, 24.0, 25.5~29.0cm

This work is the first in the series to feature rescue colors, inspired by the strobe lights used by the U.S. Navy in emergencies.

The pair is quite challenging, combining different materials such as the translucent outsole, ROLLBAR's blue color scheme, and the tongue with a layer of transparent TPU material on top.

. It is equipped with original "850" specifications such as webbing tape for support, ABZORB shock absorbing material, C-CAP cushioning material, full ground contact sole and ROLLBAR for excellent stability.

In addition, the number of shoe holes has been reduced and the original two-color yellow and orange laces with reflector effect have been produced. The exclusive mil-spec for "N.HOOLYWOOD TEST PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVECE" is printed on the side of the toe.

Since this is such a colorful pair, the style of the shoes should be subtractive, or rather, chic and minimalist.

. I am, however, amazed at the editing ability of the "N. HOOLYWOOD TEST PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVICE" every time. The courage and sense to cut in precisely where no one else would have laid eyes on . It is the best.
