Japanese streetwear designer Hiroaki Shitano’s Whiz Limited label is no stranger to New Balance collaborations, but this latest pair will most definitely help to reacquaint the market with what was once a long-lost silhouette. But with last summer’s Apricot and Violet pairs followed up by Beauty & Youth’s gorgeously simple collabo, the WHIZ LIMITED x mita sneakers x New Balance CM1700, this is a model with which todays’ New Bal fiends are rapidly reacclimating. Whiz’ take on this top-performing classic features their familiar star-toed motif, but its navy, white and red palette has these feeling more USA than CO.JP. A recent preview in Shoesmaster projects these as a late April release exclusively at mita and Lump in Tokyo, so click through to see more and let us know if you’ll make the effort to import a pair. via HB
