An innovative hub for experimental design, New Balance's Tokyo Design Studio is back doing what it does best, pushing boundaries. The MT10T flips the script on barefoot-inspired footwear, taking cues from the Minimus line. Think natural movement meets moccasins, ballet flats, loafers, and Mary Janes. A chunky rounded lug outsole and rubber mudguard nod to off-road function, while the upper blends smooth cow leather with pigskin nubuck for a clean, low-profile finish. It’s minimalism, but not as you know it.
