It’s rare to see a Asia-exclusive collaboration get so much attention here in the states, particularly from New Balance, but when you’ve got a sneaker this solid that might not ever make it to the States, we just gotta see more. The mita x HECTIC x New Balance MT580 10th Anniversary edition celebrates the 580 silhouette’s first decade with a grown-up look complete with wood grain on the Rollbar-equipped sole. This turns out to be a very clever way of twisting the all-black-everything trend and marks the latest in a long line of superb team efforts from this trio. Check out more shots after the jump and let us know if these are the best wood grain sneakers ever. via ST

I'm not usually a fan of new balance but these recent collabs are too nice. I still prefer the burn rubber collaboration a little more though

The leather looks so soft and buttery and pillowy. Wish they made them in a size 6!
