For their fifth joint venture, Snow Peak and New Balance Tokyo Design Studio have created the TDS ‘Niobium Concept 3′, a winter-proof sneaker-boot. This innovative hybrid is testament to both brands’ expertise – Snow Peak’s rigorous design standards and performance in extreme conditions, and Tokyo Design Studio’s emphasis on function-driven design. Two shoes in one, the outer shell is made of eVent, a material that is both waterproof and breathable, while the inner boot is crafted from Primaloft, renowned for its heat-retaining properties, with graphics from Japanese poet Kenji Miyazawa’s poem ‘Ame Nimo Makezu’. When worn together, they create a warm, weather-resistant system with a Vibram sole reminiscent of the New Balance MT580, providing added traction on snowy and uneven terrains.
