After appearing in soft greys earlier this year, Tokyo Design Studio’s laceless take on the New Balance 610 now surfaces once again via a collaboration with COMME des GARÇONS HOMME.The lacing system from the 610 has been removed entirely in favor of mesh, leather, and suede panels. Similar to a number of its other footwear options including last year’s Nike Air Max 97, COMME des GARÇONS HOMME gives the pairs the all-black treatment with CDG branding on the tongues, co-branding on the insoles, and a pull loop on the heel. Finally, elevating the slip-ons are compression-molded C-CAP midsoles and  NDurance outsoles.Take a closer look at the Tokyo Design Studio x New Balance 610 above and stay tuned for release details. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tsuyoshi “YOSHI” Ikedo (@tysikd)Elsewhere in footwear, New Balance readies monochromatic additions to its 1906R “Protection Pack.”

PUMA and NOAH have reunited for another offering, which furthers their catalog of collaborations. Entitled the PUMA Star, the new silhouette is fit for the tennis courts or the streets.What stands out about the PUMA Star is it being a re-issue of the PUMA Wimbledon from the late ’70s. As the show was named after the renowned Grand Slam tournament, it clearly has a focus on the sport in the past and present. Appearing with a crisp white leather upper, the shoe features a stitched-on-rubber cup sole, a split herringbone traction outsole and a perforated Formstrip. Also complementing the shoe are subtle inserts of blue, which nod to PUMA’s heritage colorways.Check out the new shoe in the gallery above. The PUMA Star is set to launch at Noah on June 29 and select PUMA retailers on July 1.In other news, Eli Manning and Fat Joe reveal the new Terror Squad x Nike Air Force 1 Low colorway.
