In 2017, New Balance joined forces with Whiz Limited, a renowned Japanese streetwear label founded by designer Hiroaki Shitano, to introduce the CM1700 'Whiz X Mita' sneaker. This collaborative release showcases an upper made from a combination of high-quality materials, complemented by breathable mesh inserts and distinctive star-shaped perforations. The iconic New Balance branding can be seen on the side panel, while the shoe's comfort is enhanced by the ABZORB cushioning. Furthermore, the sneaker is equipped with a treaded rubber outsole, ensuring excellent traction during wear.
