Franck Muller and New Balance Collide for "MS327" Watch-Inspired Sneakers
Incorporating byzantine numerals from the Swiss watch maker’s “Casablanca” collection.
Continuing their collaboration from last year, Swiss luxury watch brand Franck Muller and New Balance join forces once again for two premium watch-inspired sneakers.
This year’s black and duo sneaker duo are inspired by black and brown/sand timepieces from Franck Muller’s “Casablanca” collection. Contrast-stitched polished leather overlays for the black iteration and suede overlays for the orange version run across the toe, uniquely shaped eyelets, and heel tab. Franck Muller’s signature byzantine numerals are printed on the N logo on the laterals and embroidered across the medial side while a circular FM badge runs atop the midsection of the laces and additional co-branding elements are found on the insoles. A two-tone split mid-sole and a textured rubber outsole below complete the look.
The Franck Muller x New Balance MS327 is priced at ¥27,500 JPY (approximately $243 USD) and will be sold via raffle with an official release date is set for December 17. To commemorate the collaboration, the two brands have also scheduled several pop-ups in Tokyo and Osaka.
