The Junya Watanabe label has continued its successful partnership with New Balance by unveiling the 471 trainer as part of their Fall/Winter 2025 collection. Known for their creative collaborations at Paris Fashion Week, New Balance has shown a variety of models, including the T500 and the revived 509 runner. The new 471 silhouette pays homage to the vintage aesthetics reminiscent of 1970s running shoes, featuring two stylish colorways: an all-grey option with mesh and shaggy suede, and a black & white variant crafted from leather and hairy suede. Although pricing details are yet to be confirmed, the shoes will likely be available exclusively through Junya retailers, maintaining the label’s focus on unique and limited-edition releases. This innovative approach continues to generate excitement in the sneaker community, with many eagerly awaiting more information as the release date approaches.
