La moda japonesa siempre ha tenido figuras clave que han ayudado a definir el estilo único del país. Marcas como A BATHING APE,Mastermind y el diseño de fragmentos crearon la base para la moda japonesa a principios de los años 90. Otra de esas figuras influyentes en la moda japonesa es WTAPS. Fundada por Tetsu Nishiyama en 1993, WTAPS se ha hecho conocida por sus colaboraciones de mezclilla e inteligente zapatillas de mezclilla. Bueno, parece que New Balance está a punto de recibir el tratamiento WTAPS.

Presentado en la página de Instagram de WTAPS, ahora tenemos nuestro primer vistazo a una próxima colaboración New Balance 992. Hablando en un video inteligentemente presentado, Nishiyama-san explica que el proceso detrás de la colaboración fue mantener las cosas lo más básicas posible. “Parece bastante sencillo para las marcas colaborar así, pero en realidad es difícil”. Desde el primer vistazo de la zapatilla,es seguro decir que el equipo de WTAPS ha hecho justo eso.

A premium take on the 992, WTAPS has combined khaki suede and mesh throughout most of the upper. Grey accents on the side panels and the tongue also help to keep the neutrality of this classic dad sneaker. The split midsole features white and khaki, with a touch of orange towards the toe just to make things pop. However, the real focus on this sneaker is the balance of both brands logos.

“Making the most of each other’s branding…like this was the final goal so I hope that I created the best possible result” Nishiyama-san explains. Of course, the best possible result has created this perfect 992. Although there is no information on a release date, given the timing and the unveiling of this sneaker, you can expect it to release soon.

Check out the images below and let us know if you’ll be picking these up.

2006年にNew Balanceの100周年を記念するモデルとして誕生したM992。 2020年に復刻し、始まったそのM992シリーズの一つを、WTAPSとのコラボレーションで実現しました。 Made in USAならではの表情を携えたM992が、WTAPSのアイディアと融合した今回のコラボレーション。 New Balanceならではのハイスペックな構造とWTAPSの個性を、この一足から感じ取って頂けたらと思います。  ——————-  The M992, a silhouette that was first introduced in 2006 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of New Balance. As part of the first reissue series since the original release, in 2020, this collaboration was created. A model with a strong sense of Made in USA character and the high spec construction characteristic to New Balance, fused with the design essence of WTAPS.   #wtaps  #wtvua  #wtaps_40 #wtaps_newbalance #newbalance #newbalance_992
