Tokyo Design Studio New Balance's new collection is inspired by tabi socks. The minimalist design with the kohaze shines brightly.

With the evolution of technology, running shoes with new features are being introduced every day.

While maintaining these functions, the brand is making interesting moves, such as collaborations with Auralee and Overcoat.tokyo design studio new balanceIt is.

The new shoes, which will be released at limited stores on December 5 (Sat.), are also unique in their simple but hard-to-find unique design.

TDS FuelCell Speedrift TABI ¥25,000+TAX each

The FuelCell Speedrift TABI, which combines a Tabi-inspired upper with New Balance's latest FuelCell foam midsole, will be available for purchase.

This minimalist take on the high-profile "Fuel Cell Foam" is the latest in the series. The distinctive upper has a dual-layer construction with a stretchy, state-of-the-art knit inner layer and a strong cotton outshell.

They are as high as the ankle, but are lightweight, have excellent fit and stability, and do not feel the tightness characteristic of high-cut shoes. There are also chrysanthemum holes for good ventilation.

The unique design of Tabi Shoes, which are put on and taken off using a kohaze, is also a key point of the design. These shoes are also a picture even when they are taken off.

These shoes are characterized by a design that is innovative, yet easy to match. I have a feeling that it will be fresh and interesting to match them with kimonos in the coming season.
