The WTAPS × New Balance 2010 brings together two worlds that know a thing or two about understated precision. New Balance’s 2010 has always been a silhouette that leans towards function and comfort, but with WTAPS at the helm it gets reimagined with a distinctly military-inspired lens.
The upper is a patchwork of neutral materials, blending premium suede overlays with sage green leather accents and breathable mesh underlays. The mix feels tactical, almost like it’s been pulled straight out of a kit designed for the field rather than the street.
WTAPS has kept its branding subtle, with discreet hits on the heel and side panel, enough to mark the collaboration, but in line with their philosophy of letting the product speak for itself.
What makes this pair stand out is what’s happening underfoot. While the neutral palette keeps things grounded, WTAPS has taken New Balance’s classic cushioning system and given it a jolt of energy. The ABZORB pods in fluorescent green at the heel act as both functional support and visual contrast, almost glowing against the otherwise subdued build.
