Sneakerheads, here's how to cop the collaborative kicks via an online raffle
Tetsu Nishiyama’s WTAPS is the latest, and first Japanese brand to collaborate with American footwear giant New Balance for the revival of the 992 model after a 14 year-long hiatus.
Injecting his signature olive drab colourway into the silhouette, Nishiyama still retains hints of grey from the original 992—creating a perfect blend of New Balance’s heritage with WTAPS’ classic aesthetic. Featuring an upper made from suede, nubuck, and mesh, the M992WT also features a hint of orange on its Abzorb-equipped (which is New Balance's blend of foam cushioning and compression set, featuring rubber), white and olive-based sole.
The WTAPS brand also replaces the traditional 992 on the heel and tongue of the sneaker.
