Wtaps has partnered with New Balance to release a special edition of the ABZORB 2010, a model originally introduced in 1993 with performance-driven cushioning technology. Designed to improve running performance while remaining versatile for everyday wear, the shoe combines breathable mesh with nubuck leather across its upper, layered in a refined grey tone for easy integration into diverse lifestyles.

This collaboration infuses Wtaps’ understated yet utilitarian aesthetic into the ABZORB 2010. The heel tab carries the Wtaps logo, while the foxing features a debossed WTVUA motif. A pop of neon yellow on the sole adds contrast to the otherwise restrained palette, highlighting the duality of weight and lightness that defines the model’s character.

The Wtaps x New Balance ABZORB 2010 in olive drab will be available on October 10, 2025, priced at ¥24,200 (tax included). The release will be offered through Wtaps ONLINE STORE, Wtaps W_Lab locations in Aoyama and Kyoto, and select HOODS stores across Japan, including Sendai, Kanazawa, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, Matsuyama, and Fukuoka.
