Tokyo Design Studio (TDS) is New Balance's international, Japan-based studio focused solely on simple and honest aesthetics. I really like this subsidiary of New Balance because they pride themselves in getting designs out, rather than refining it to perfection. Their steel grey Niobium Concept boots was what set me off on a wild research tangent for days. Boots? Check. Mule? Check. Slippers? aaand check. All in one design 🤯 . They recently opened a physical retail space to house their pieces called the T-House, I highly recommend following their Instagram page to keep a tab on them!
