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.

In a recent Vendor feature on Japanese lifestyle magazine honeyee, an upcoming nonnative x New Balance M1700C was revealed. In recent times, the M1700C has been the sneaker of choice for various collaborating Japanese entities. This particular model utilizes very understated and minimalist colors with slight distressing on the toe cap.
