The “A” line of New Balance offerings has brought forth some of the traditionally conservative brand’s most eclectic footwear designs over the last little while including off-base releases such as the creeper-inspired A16. The high-top A20 looks to Native American “Navajo” aesthetics for its inspiration as it combines a moc-toe upper with subtle color highlights based on Navajo Indian textiles. Other highlights include tonal logos and a detailing on the top of the heel. Available starting July.

    I can’t wait for this ridiculously appropriative/hilariously ugly “NA-inpsired” fad to end, and for an actual race filled with thousands of cultures that most people know jack about to not be white/black/asian peoples’ trend and fashion obsession. Y’all look stupid as hell wearing this shit. Navajo culture and traditional dress is beautiful…these shoes are ugly. In fact, they should probably not have bothered picking a tribe (lolol@how they picked the biggest nation in the US) and just called it “Native American” since this is some busted pan-Indian plastic pow wow design shit up herre.
    And all the bilaga’s eat it up. Hahahahaha!

    I’m really feeling these, but just dread the fact that they’re Japan exclusive. I ♥ Nippon though, so no offense intended.
