Michael Le Long approached for their creative input, WTAPS has proffered the culture quite the handful of notable sneaker releases — most of which belonging to the veritably popular Anaheim imprint Vans. And in a similar vein to the Japanese label’s Kanye-worn Sk8-Hi, their forthcoming collaboration with New Balance leads with a military-influenced design ethos.
Delivered atop the uppers of the 992, the release effectively melds the ideals of designer Tetsu Nishiyama and New Balance Athletic themselves as the olive drab coloring gradates into the latter brand’s signature grey colorway. “N” logos at the side are familiarly stamped with silver reflective, while similarly neutral overlays lie atop the mesh toe box, heel, and tongue; orange dresses the side of the midsole with subtlety much like the teal at the outsole, creating more quiet and less Homage references which directly contrast that of the “WTAPS” branding seen at the back. Elsewhere, the heel and tongue also feature a textured embossed detail that pays homage to Nishiyama’s favorite silhouette, the 998.
