BEAMS x New Balance RC205

New Balance continues its collaboration with the Japanese contemporary fashion brand BEAMS. After proposing a collaborative tote bag at the beginning of the year, the two partners are reinventing a marathon running sneaker from the archives of the Boston-based label. Launched in 1996 under the name « COMP800 », the vintage runner is reintroduced today and it called « RC205 ».

The shoe retains its original shape with a modern touch.

It consists of a black mesh upper with black suede overlays on the toe, laceguard and heel, as well as smooth full-grain grey leather on the midfoot. The emblematic N logo on the side appears in grey with the contours in white leather. To complete the retro design, we find a vintage tongue label with « New Balance Racing » branding coupled with the model name. Also, the number 205 appears embroidered on the heel counter and the white NB logo is highlighted on the back of the shoe. The white inner lining, laces and heel tab in grey colour complete the look. The whole is based on a white midsole with a grey heel clip, benefiting from ABZORB cushioning. The thin black rubber outsole ensures a perfect matching.

The BEAMS x New Balance RC205 will be released on September 19, 2020 on the BEAMS.co.jp shop website for 110€.
