Hybridized Shoe Steals the Show at Junya Watanabe’s Paris Fashion Week Show
The Junya Watanabe Man x New Balance 1906 Loafer made its debut on the runway in classic black, and it’s already turning heads. Combining a loafer with a sneaker is no easy feat, but Junya Watanabe has managed to create a shoe that is both interesting and versatile. The top part of the shoe features a classic loafer design with a black leather construction and penny toe segment. But the rest of the shoe boasts New Balance 1906 toe guards, midsole, and sole, giving it a slightly rugged and technical look. The use of leather and rubber adds to the overall design, and the shoe is finished off with a Junya Watanabe Man tag on the toe and a small New Balance tag on the side.
