Tokyo-Inspired Footwear Capsules

atmos Joins New Balance on the Tokyo Dimension Series

— September 23, 2022 — Lifestyle
New Balance works in collaboration with atmos Japan on the new Tokyo Dimensions collection that highlights its signature 1906R sneaker model. The designs are inspired by the eclectic personality and street style that is true to Tokyo.

The main color is purple, which can be seen along the N logo emblems, the interior sections of the tongues, the molds along the forefoot of the midsole, and the exposed cushioning units. The shoes have a light grey mesh that creates the base foundation of the upper before being met by a solid black cage by the back of the shoe. It all sits on top of the New Balance N-ERGY cushioning for comfort and is rounded out by the speckled midsole unit.
