Limited Edt x New Balance Unveiled the Urban Islander Collection in India
The Urban Islander is defined to be an inhabitant of the sunny island, which both collaborators originate from, holds a deep interest in style, music, art, and subcultures, has an open mind to creativity, and who traverses the streets and paths less traveled.
The concept also epitomizes the contrast between Singapore being a metropolitan urban city and, at the same time, the perfect tropical getaway. This is perfectly captured in the new collection fusing urban sophistication and tropical flair that transcends boundaries and elevates streetwear to new heights featuring a range of products that include a New Balance 580 sneaker, Helinox Chair One, OMBAK shirt and shorts, tote bag, hat and socks.
In addition to elevating Indian street fashion, the Urban Islander collection is also a celebration of the ongoing collaborative efforts between Limited Edt and Mr Sabotage, as well as the long-term partnership between Limited Edt and New Balance.
At the heart of the Urban Islander Collection lies the New Balance 580, a masterpiece that seamlessly blends a reserved color palette with bold statements. The shoe features the signature pineapple print, vividly adorning the insole and lining, embodying the essence of the Urban Islander lifestyle. Crafted with meticulous detail, the material execution is a treasure trove of premium finishes, including Hairy Suede, Woven Fabric, and 3M Reflective materials. The New Balance 580 stands as the epitome of streetwear sophistication, encapsulating the identity of the Urban Islander.
