Guerrilla release of MRT580 limited edition model "an evolved version of the famous machine that broke out in Tokyo.

The “MT580 “HECTIC x mita sneakers”” was the first shop-led collaboration model, and is known by those in the know. The guerrilla release of store limited colors from MRT580, which is its evolutionary version, has been determined. It has become an ambitious work that was produced by the people behind the collaboration at the time.

MRT580″ is an evolutionary version of “MT580,” the pioneer of sneaker shop-led collaborations.

MT580 “HECTIC x mita sneakers” was released in 2000 and became the forerunner of the shop-led collaboration model that was groundbreaking at the time of its release. The ” 580 ” of New Balance was adopted as the base model of the “MT580. The “580” was born in 1996 as the Japanese improved version of the “585 “made in U.S.A.” that was released in the U.S. mainland. The world project that is composed of a tag team with the partner that New Balance carefully selected based on “580” that celebrated the 20thanniversary of birth has started, and this work is also consistent with that.

The ” navy × red × white tricolor tricolor” that has been applied throughout is the work of Naotake Magara, who is the representative of A-1 CLOTHING, which was operating HECTIC at the time, and Egawa, the director of Hombre Niño and PLUS L by XLARGE, as well as Yoshifumi and Mitasneaker. Yoshifumi Egawa, director of Hombre Niño and PLUS L by XLARGE, and Eiyuki Kunii of MITA Sneakers were brought back together in the design.

The “MRT580” inherits the “upper” design of the classic “580. The minimalist “upper” with a “welding” structure that reduces the “seam” has been dramatically improved to create an original three-dimensional and beautiful look, while also incorporating a dramatic improvement in the feel of the foot. While drawing a curve, such as installing a “heel tab” to facilitate removal, the practicality that has been thoroughly pursued is also a pleasure. Although the coloring is simple, the design is voluminous, so it is a gem to be incorporated as an accent rather than a supporting role in your outfits.

580″, which was created as an improved version of “585”, struggled to sell as much as expected when it was first released, and was sold as a wagon sale model. It was sold as a wagon sale model. In such a situation, it is recognized among sneaker freaks as a grass-roots model that gradually increased in popularity by the three aforementioned people who started wearing them in Tokyo.
