If only the rest of the world worked with as much collaboration as the sneaker industry. As Boston-based New Balance continues to roll out new colorways of the modern retro ABZORB 2010 runner, the latest collab on the silhouette comes through international ties, arriving in grey suede from Tokyo-based clothing brand Lideraiders and Chinese sneaker boutique UNIK.
The Liberaiders x UNIK x New Balance 2010 is a triple collab that crosses borders freely on every panel, designed in collaboration between the three brands and led by the concept of "being bound by true friendship and walking together.”
