New Balance RC_1300 Tokyo Design Marbled Blue and Washed Blue

New Balance used its Tokyo Design Studio expertise to craft a series of shoes that includes the RC_1300 Tokyo Design Marbled Blue, drawing inspiration from old proverbs and the art world. The marbled effect on the upper part of the RC_1300 silhouette is one of the most striking aspects, featuring a mix of bluish colors and a pale shade of white, contrasted with dark mesh panels. The New Balance 'N' is prominently stitched with a blue outline, and the heel features a soft cream color, adding contrast to the black outsole. Released in May 2020, this sneaker retailed for $190. Additionally, the Tokyo Design Studio x New Balance RC_1300 'Washed Blue' blends classic design with modern sensibilities, featuring a blue mesh upper with pigskin suede overlays, ENCAP Reveal midsole with ABZORB cushioning, and a durable lugged Vibram outsole.
