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.
WTAPS has been around since the late 90s, and in the past two years, they’ve dropped annual Made in USA New Balance colorways, adding classic grey blends to the 990v6 and 998. This time around, WTAPS picks the new-for-2025 hit 2010, bringing a traditional suede and mesh makeup to the tech-packed ABZORB silhouette.
The WTAPS x New Balance 2010 will be released October 10, 2025 through WTAPS and New Balance Japan. As of now, there's no word on a US release. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we learn about a wider release, so download the Sole Retriever mobile app and keep your eyes peeled.
