A Special Collaboration Themed Around Soccer

Kangaroo Leather Used for the Upper


This year, with a major soccer event taking place, Paul Smith and New Balance have collaborated to create special items.

The "MiUK One" football spike, part of the "New Balance x Paul Smith" capsule collection, is a revival of a model that first appeared in the 70s. It was the first football spike manufactured at New Balance's factory in Cumbria, UK, and features a design that adds a modern twist to its classic form.

This collaboration model uses soft kangaroo leather for the upper. Paul Smith's signature stripes are featured on the tongue, heel counter, and insoles.

The sporty look of the base model is enhanced with the taste of British designer Paul Smith, creating a unique presence. The item resonates with Paul Smith's design philosophy of "classic with a twist."

The sneakers "576" and "Ball" were also released as part of this collaboration, but they have already sold out, indicating their high popularity and buzz. The "MiUK One" is a valuable item not only as a sports product but also as a collector's item.
