Continuing with their affixation with vintage and classic styled runners, Japanese brand nonnative has lined up with American running brand Brooks on their 80s icon, the Vantage Supreme. The focus of the shoe revolves strictly around the Vantage Supreme’s 80s silhouette and quality perforated upper. The end product is quite similar thematically to nonnative’s pairing with New Balance on the M1700C. Look for the nonnative x Brooks Vantage Supreme to be available in black, brown, gray and purple at honeyee store.

The bare essentials is a good way to describe nonnative’s take on their version of the New Balance M1700. The once running marvel and flagship of the New Balance collection has been offered in two low key colors. The grey joint most likely tickles the fancy of those hard to please conservative northern Europeans that grace the likes of the Crooked Tongues forums while the white pair makes me think Warren Moon and the days of the defunct Houston Oilers.
