Lab have been working on limited edition handmade Japan-exclusive sneakers since 2018, and the latest Made in Japan shoe covers the classic silhouette in chocolate brown premium local leather, with a grey New Balance “N” logo on the side, cream accents, and more grey on the heel with a hand-stitched NB logo in brown.
