Despite their reputation as among the leaders in Japanese collaborations, New Balance has managed to stay at arm’s length from the trend toward utilizing wild animal prints over the past year.

They’d have a bit of momentum if the timing is right, now that this brand new Frapbois x New Balance ML574 has hit the scene with black-on-white spots that’s somewhere between a cheetah and a dalmation.
