Fresh off the heels of New Balance Japan’s NB 1500JPJ announcement, the brand has unveiled another upcoming archive release. Originally released in 2010, the NB 1700 will be returning to Japanese retailers in its OG colorway.

Billed as a limited edition release, the Made In Japan NB 1700 is constructed from a high-quality, grey leather upper with breathable mesh in lighter grey tones applied on the toebox. Dark navy blue padding is used on the interior of the shoe as well as in small patches interspersed throughout the upper. The white “N” logo patch is outlined in gold-tinted embroidery which matches the “LIMITED EDITION” text embroidered atop the heel and the golden, “NB” branded lace locks. Below this text is more embroidery that spells out “NEW BALANCE JAPAN” in dark navy blue. The sneaker all rests atop a comfortable Encap midsole synthesizing NB Japan’s great design with the brand’s world-renowned comfort.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
