Going in for a sweet three-way, New Balance team up with Japanese sneaker kings Atmos and the vinyl toy tycoons at Secret Base to create this animalistic M996. Flecked in gold pops and tiger prints (with props to tattooist Chris Trevino for the design), the 996 is nod to Oriental flavours and classic craftsmanship. Perf leather uppers mixed in with speckled midsoles, the M996 is a killer combo from these two street savvy Japanese brands. Thanks to Hypebeast.
