Japanese streetwear legends WTAPS have been a staple in the sneaker collab community since the early days of the industry, working with everyone from Converse to Hoka, and the iconic cross-bones Vans collection. WTAPS has also had a prolific partnership with New Balance, and after a small break, the brands are back for a new 2010.
The WTAPS x New Balance 2010 is a beautiful blend of dark green suede with mint green support panels and mesh that looks greyish silver against the green suede. The green is broken up by a clean white midsole, but returns by way of bright, semi-translucent slime green ABZORB pods in the heel. WTAPS branding is found on the lateral heel support panel and on the insole.
