Hirofumi Kojima, Creative Director at atmos, recently teased an early look at the upcoming atmos x New Balance 1000. The sneaker’s standout feature is the paisley print, which extends throughout the shoe’s plush interior bootie. Black suede overlays add depth and texture, while white embroidery highlights the branding details. Kojima referred to the sneaker as “bāṅdhnū,” a possible nod to the traditional bandana-inspired pattern seen throughout the design.

This collaboration aligns with atmos’ ongoing 25th-anniversary collection, following a string of exclusive sneaker drops.

While release details remain unconfirmed, the pair is expected to follow atmos’ usual release format, likely debuting as a Japan-exclusive. Stay tuned for official release information in the coming months.
