[Update 10 Oct 2023] The mita sneakers x MASTERPIECE SOUND x Hombre Niño x New Balance MT580 GORE-TEX have been released online. If you missed them on New Balance and mita sneakers, they’re currently listed on the SNKRDUNK App so head over and get yours!

Japanese streetwear brands mita sneakers, MASTERPIECE SOUND, and Hombre Niño recently teamed up with NewZ Balance for a special collaboration on the MT580 GORE-TEX. It might seem like a general release at the onset but the footbed—imbued with branding from the four parties—says otherwise.

The New Balance MT580 debuted in 1996 as a trail runner, but it swiftly became a favorite among sneakerheads in the Tokyo street scene. Paying homage to its rich history, the aforementioned four reinvent the pair with a subtle and sleek aesthetic, alongside functionality that can withstand the elements.

The shoe features a dark black upper made of GORE-TEX, leather, and mesh, providing both durability and breathability. The Vibram outsole ensures excellent traction on a variety of surfaces. The shoe is also equipped with a seamless phantom fit for a comfortable and secure fit.

The mita sneakers x MASTERPIECE SOUND x Hombre Niño x New Balance MT580 GORE-TEX is set to release on October 7 in Japan, at New Balance and select retailers.
