Designed in the summer of 2021, this was my first shoe at New Balance. Unfortunately, due to budget limitations during Covid, this model was dropped before market.

The Arishi RMX was a women’s shoe/sandal crossover targeted heavily towards New Balance’s Japan accounts. A ‘convertible’ sneaker sandal that could be worn with or without the heel. My solution was to incorporate a strap that flipped to the front (and in turn showcases the New Balance word mark as an easter egg!)
