SNS x New Balance 2002R Mule ”Goods for home”

With a 2 decades-strong history in the books, we continue our friendship with New Balance, this time on a premium rendition of the 2002R Mule. The updated archive gem brings together comfort and style through a premium suede and mesh upper with ABZORB cushioning and N-ergy outsole. Inspired by creative craftsmanship and Japanese home accessories, this collaboration is brought to life with long-time creative contributor Yuthanan, an homage to the OG New Balance mule by swapping the current “N” branding and adding the New Balance 990V3 “N” logo. Tying into the theme of “GOODS FOR HOME,” we also created a selection of crafted goods with local Japanese craftsman that include a hand made incense chamber that resembles the Mule and can hold the SNS x Apotheke Fragrance incense, which is also a part of the release. In addition we have also worked on hand-made cups and vases, as well as a 2-pack of Socks and a T-Shirt designed by Ikki Kobayashi.
