New Balance's Tokyo Design Studio Collaborate with Snow Peak

The elite tinkerers at  Tokyo Design Studio have taken 2018’s slim RC_1 and revamped it for the wilds, creating the R_C4. The new look comes via a collaboration with Snow Peak, esteemed purveyors of Japanese outdoors wares.

The lovechild of the union is rough and ready with everything you need to battle the elements. There’s CORDURA fabric, ABZORB cushioning, webbed enforcements, fastening systems and, of course, GORE-TEX.

Pairs and accompanying apparel will be available from select New Balance stockists on October 5.
