TOKYO DESIGN STUDIO New Balance has just introduced a new MT10Tv1 model. It is essentially a reimagined iteration of its classic trail runner. The silhouette is set to launch on June 5th at select global retailers and the design is based on the original MT10 which dates back to 2011.
The new model features a fashionable design and has a performance based on barefoot movement. Some of the main upgrades include an unlined nubuck build followed by the rounded Vibram outsole unit, which is optimal for city to trail traction. At the base of the shoe is a mudguard crafted from rubber materials which aids better stability. The model comes in Black or a Moon Beam colorway.
