Matt Varga Getting a silhouette off the ground with the help of outside partners is, as far as sneakers are concerned, the oldest trick in the book. Yet as the New Balance 2010 enters year two, evidently the Boston brand isn’t taking the model off the menu as it expands its collaborative rolodex.
Now adding to a roster of South Korean partners that includes CAYL, thisisneverthat, and XLIM is Khakis, taking a spin on the ABZORB-powered sneaker. Rather than any weighty narrative propelling their take forward, the Khakis x New Balance 2010 is tooled for your “Day Tour,” prioritizing the everyday comfort that the 99x-inspired shoe provides and coated in a similar “daily driver” palette fit for days around town and nights out alike.
Namely, the streetwear label calls up a digestible blend of dark browns and tans in the topmost layers, before shifting to cooler grey and blue. Interestingly enough, neither campaign nor official product shots reveal any co-branding notes, but maybe that’s just a final expression of this pair’s under-the-radar appeal.
The Khakis x New Balance ABZORB 2010 “Day Tour” will release on February 20th, exclusive to Korean retailers and the Khakis site.
