New Balance A0 series starts off with this Japan styled one-piece sneaker which features no seams whatsoever.
Style
New Balance's A09BK features loads of print and details. Instead of the classic sewn in logo on the side, a standard for most New Balance sneakers, here it's a printed version of their “N” with white stitches on top. These sneakers may look like typical New Balance at first glance but they'll scream at you with their intricate Japanese styling upon further studying. The sneakers feature a New Balance print respective embroidered logo on the tongue and the gold insole. Overall, these sneakers are simply sharp and can be easily toned down if you balance them with dark colors.Comfort and Fit
New Balance is known for producing comfortable sneakers and this model makes the grade. The A09KB is excellent for walking or running. Also, if you have any back or posture problems, then I advise using New Balance sneakers. Furthermore, New Balance is known for having wider sneakers - good for folks who need the extra room.Design
The black material of this model is all hemp which makes it all vegan. On top of that, the overall styling is made to appeal to anarchists. Check out the nice red embroidered Japanese sign on backside, the gold plate on the laces and the raw red beads on lace-ends. The guys at New Balance did give some extreme attention to detail in the design of their A09BK model.Conclusion
Any New Balance sneaker is worth the investment if you are a serious walker or runner. Stylistically, these sneakers won't appeal to style-savvy consumers but will see some young, non-conformists pulling them off the sales racks.
