In 2017, New Balance and Whiz Limited, a Japanese streetwear brand by designer Hiroaki Shitano, teamed up to release the CM1700 'Whiz X Mita’. The sneaker's upper features a mix of premium materials with breathable mesh inserts and unique star perforations. Classic New Balance branding appears at the side panel. Below, ABZORB cushioning sits atop a treaded rubber outsole for added traction.
