mita’s New Balance 990 Is a Bouncing Frog

Japan’s mita is turning their attention to New Balance with their latest collaborative endeavour, putting their own spin on the ultimate dad shoe: the 990v4. Shigeyuki Kunii takes the reins for the aptly named ‘Bouncing Frog’, taking cues from NB’s Boston stomping grounds for a green 990 inspired by the Boston Common Frog Pond. Artist Sneakerwolf also lends a helping hand, crafting a custom graphic for the chainlink fence-covered insoles.

The green New Balance 990v4 will hop onto mita’s shelves on August 25.
