New Drops From Mizuno & Basketcase x New Balance: Peak Performance Meets Tasteful Minimalism
Let's get real – whenever a high-performance or even streetwear sneaker hits the scene, it's oftentimes the most eye-offensive sneaker available, thanks to its clashing and excessive use of colours. But what if there were a shoe that delivers its promise of marrying performance and style in a tasteful way? Then you've got the latest creations from Mizuno and Basketcase x New Balance to try on for size. Mizuno Wave Prophecy Morelia Neo From the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup to the excitement surrounding the FIFA World Cup next year, football has been on the minds of millions of people lately. As a result, the sport's influence is still felt in every sphere of society, including fashion, where football-inspired and -designed footwear models are still very much in demand. Mizuno is capitalising on this popular trend by creating the Wave Prophecy Morelia Neo, which honours the 40th anniversary of the Morelia boot by fusing it with the Wave Prophecy. The Wave Prophecy runner's instantly identifiable sole unit forms the shoe's base and, with its aerated Wave Plate arrangement, provides comfort with every stride. Meanwhile, the brand's RunBird logo is displayed on both sides of the shoe, and the upper has the recognisable K-Leather quilted panelling. It will be introduced using this all-black version, emphasising all of its key characteristics. The Mizuno Wave Prophecy Morelia Neo will be available for purchase on 27th June through Mizuno for €250 (~RM1,230). It will also be available on HBX starting 1st July. Basketcase x New Balance 204L Basketcase and New Balance are once again kicking things into high gear with their latest shoe — the Basketcase x New Balance 204L. Being their third attempt at creating a pair of dazzling sneakers, the Southern Californian streetwear label and the decorated footwear brand are here to rock the fashion industry. A Friends & Family release, the new Basketcase x New Balance collection ups the ante while maintaining the pair's minimalist, monochromatic style. Textured pony hair underlays accentuate the collaborative version of the new NB silhouette, which is covered in a variety of grey hues. The pony hair is partially hidden by high-quality nubuck overlays that are dipped in a slightly different shade of grey. Leather linings and contrasting EVA foam midsoles and outsoles finish off the low-profile stepper. The sleek form factor on top of its subtle colour is enough to get some heads turning, as it fully embraces its minimalist aesthetic in a tasteful manner. But if grey isn't your style, then worry not, as these sneakers will be receiving a coloured reinforcement in the coming months, as per the shoe's official press release. The Basketcase x New Balance 204L has yet to receive an official price or release date, but you can stay up to date by visiting Friends & Family's official website.

After first teaming up on the New Balance 1906AD last June and then once again back in November on the Minimus MT20, the Southern Californian streetwear label has once again connected with the footwear imprint for a new collaborative footwear release: the Basketcase x New Balance 204L. Arriving as a Friends & Family release, the new Basketcase x New Balance offering maintains the duo's monochromatic, minimalistic approach, though taking it up a notch.

The pony hair is partially hidden beneath premium nubuck overlays, dipped in a slightly different gray hue. Leather linings, contrasting EVA foam midsoles and outsoles, round out the low-profile stepper. The sneaker is currently stationed in Paris' Le Marais district, on display as the focal point of Basketcase's showroom. While this specific colorway is confirmed not to get a wholesale release, a press release states that it does in fact precede 'an additional colorway [of the collaborative sneaker] launching globally later this year.' Take a closer look at the Basketcase x New Balance 204L in the gallery above and stay tuned for more information for release details of the yet-to-be-revealed collaborative colorway.
