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.

I love these New Balance shoes. The white and brown colored versions have the tiny perforations for air ventilation. New Balance takes care of feet health and hygiene. I like the idea and experience of wearing shoes that allow breathing space for my feet. Atmos sells these wonderful sneakers for about 11,500 Japanese Yen currency.

The prints are hot favorites for the senior set. They are like coffee table eye candy as the sight is captivated by the crazy patterns.They afford the psychotic reaction in eye therapy. That may be one reason why psychedelic prints are hugely popular. Some brands like Burberry are based on milking the checks, plaids and geometric shapes for their eye catching abilities. The shoe with the check quilted pattern looks warm and inviting.

As always, the designers have the three basic age groups in mind. I think that in general, the white and brown editions are for the young adults. The patterned designs are good for retirees to laze around in and the vibrant colors are for the good brat pack. These gaudily colored boots are supposedly meant for hiking. I can imagine the splash of color they bring to the otherwise placid surroundings.
