ISSEY MIYAKE “ISSEY MIYAKE×New Balance MT10O”

The SHIKAKU at ISSEY MIYAKE SHINJUKU presents a special exhibition, “ISSEY MIYAKE×New Balance MT10O.”

This exhibition presents footwear “ISSEY MIYAKE×New Balance MT10O” in collaboration with New Balance, along with a series of campaign images of the project photographed around the theme of physicality.

This collaboration marks the first footwear project between the two brands, designed by ISSEY MIYAKE designer Satoshi Kondo, inspired by the concept of sensuous physicality and barefoot mobility. The MT10, a classic model from New Balance’s trail running series, is integrated with the design and colour palette of ISSEY MIYAKE. This footwear’s design is in harmony with the notion of “natural and honest shape” in the theme of ISSEY MIYAKE Spring Summer 2024 collection, featuring lightweight feel and grounding comfort.

Inspired by the bones and muscles of the human body, this exhibition features “ISSEY MIYAKE×New Balance MT10O” on a steel grid interlaced with washi (traditional Japanese paper). The display conveys the lightweight and uplifting feel of the footwear, fitting the feet as if it is something of the human body.
