Tokyo
The Asian continent, and more specifically Japan, has played a determining role in the creation of some of the most iconic models of urban sneakers in history.
Tokyo is another of those world capitals where anything is possible, but what makes it unique is its ability to innovate , in many cases, in a risky way and which, almost always, is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for designers.
This city is the birthplace of the famous Nike X Sacai , which are a perfect reflection of how Japanese culture is capable of giving a twist to classic American and European models.
Boston
The city of Boston , in addition to being the capital of the state of Massachusetts and having one of the most important universities in the world, has a very relevant role for sneakerheads.
We have to go back to the beginning of the 20th century, specifically to 1906, the date on which the New Balance Arch Support Company was founded . Indeed, the basis of what is today one of the most representative brands in the sector.
New Balance sneakers are a reference today, and there is no better place to travel for a sneakerhead than to enjoy a privileged environment, while walking with your favorite sneakers.
