“New BalanceML2016 was born in 2016, the year that marked the 110th anniversary of the company, with the design concept of "TOKYO," where technology and craftsmanship coexist.
Designed by the "TOKYO DESIGN STUDIO," a global team within New Balance that develops products based on new concepts, the M1600 is the first model in the 1000 series to incorporate the shock-absorbing, repulsive elastic material ABZORB. Based on the "M1600," the first model in the 1000 series to incorporate the shock-absorbing, resilient material ABZORB, this top-of-the-line "Made in ASIA" model quickly disappeared from store shelves, attracting great attention not only in Japan, but around the world as well.
As the successor model to the "ML2016", the "2017" is born! While inheriting the silhouette of the previous model, this model has evolved further and features a well-balanced combination of high-quality nubuck, suede, and smooth leather for the upper.
Another key point is the perforated "N" mark on the side and forefoot.

Like its predecessor, the minimalist design with fewer upper seams creates an original and beautiful silhouette, while promising a comfortable fit.
ML2017 gray ¥23,000+TAX 23.0~29.0,30.0cm

Gray, a typical New Balance color, is based on nubuck leather.
ML2017 Black ¥23,000+TAX 23.0~29.0,30.0cm

The versatile black is made of full-grain leather. Both have a chic look that looks great in the fall and winter seasons, and you can wear them like leather shoes, so why not add them to your list of potential sneakers to buy this season?
