I guess bodegas must be as pervasive in Japanese cities as American ones because New Balance is releasing a 576 574 “Conbini” trio bearing the colors of convenience stores, 7-Eleven, ampm and Family Mart.
Some form of familiarity on this one. We’ve seen Bathing Ape do their highly successful [exclusive] set of Bape Sta on the same concept and now NB-Jpn replicates with the
576574 [Ed.–NBB]. Inspired by the conbini stores allover Japan [43,667 at last count in 2005], check out these 3 flavors all featuring suede and patent leather, with reflective detailing.
