[Update 3 Apr 2025] The atmos x New Balance 1000 “Bāṅdhnū” is scheduled for release at atmoscon 2025 on 19 April 2025. Made in men’s sizes, a wider release and price point is yet to be disclosed. Stay tuned! In the meantime, enjoy the new images in the gallery above!

For a quarter of a century, atmos has been pivotal in shaping Japan’s and, by large, the world’s street culture landscape. Inching more into terra incognita, Hirofumi Kojima, the brand’s Head of Product, recently teased a bandana-infused reimagining of the New Balance 1000.

About the atmos x New Balance 1000 “Bāṅdhnū”

The full narrative behind the atmos x New Balance 1000 remains a secret, but Kojima’s cryptic caption, featuring the Hindi word bāṅdhnū—meaning “to tie,” the etymological wellspring of “bandana”—offers a clue. The accompanying images reveal the retro runner cloaked in the classic monochrome palette of the iconic kerchief. Paisley motifs, intricate and timeless, dance across the pair’s textured upper and insole.

Release Details

The release date of the atmos x New Balance 1000 “Bāṅdhnū” is yet to be announced. One can only surmise that this collaboration between titans will grace their digital and physical shelves before the vernal equinox bids adieu. Stay tuned!
