Japan has her own New Balance design team and they have prepared a new model. This is simply called the A03. This takes inspiration and base design from the old model of P991. A03 looks more daring in approach as it has a colored toe area. This A03 comes in two colors; bright purple and mild orange. These colors suit the black background very well. The purple A03 has a rough leather finish.I think it looks a bit homely, in its simplicity. To contrast, the orange-toed model has a smooth leather finish. It looks sleek but unpolished because it is not shiny leather. However, the texture suits the overall design of the shoe.

The A03 is currently sold by the Japanese online store, Mita Sneakers. One pair goes for around 10,200 Japanese Yen.This high cut sneaker edition looks minimal but has many special features. Its tongue has the picture of an ice mountain, presumably, Mt. Fuji. The A03 logo sits supremely atop the peak.The last three shoe rings are reinforced with extra rings. This facilitates the tightening of shoe laces. Consumers who need to lace up shoes for secure footage will like this feature. The shoe laces are straightforward, made of the old pattern of no frills design.I like the orange pair more then the purple pair because orange is a more earthy and neutral color. It will match my apparel in my wardrobe well.
