Balansa and Puma Launch Debut Running Capsule

Balansa, a Busan-based vintage clothing store, sound shop, and label has anounced its first collaboration with Puma, introducing four new running shoe col0rways and accompanying apparel.

The upcoming series consists of the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 and Puma Liberate Nitro 2 which are both made available in yellow and black colorways. Differences are subtle between the two silhouettes with both opting for breathable mesh uppers, reflective laces and taping, responsive NITRO soles, and “2-Arches”/”SOUND SHOP balansa” branding on the heel counters. Aside from the casual graphic tees, collaborative garments including hooded windbreakers, trousers, shorts, and running tees are subtle and built for long distance performance.

The Puma x Balansa collaboration is set to launch on March 17 via Puma Korea and Balansa. Those near Busan can apply to participate in related activations including a 5K night run on launch day.
