New Balance's steady stream of desirable releases over the last year—particularly significant collaborations from the NB990 series—is certainly responsible for the brand's continued buzz. Although we'd seldom come across anything from the historical label's skateboarding section. The Numeric 272 skate shoes have finally arrived from the Philippines, thanks to the aid of legendary Filipino street skateboarder Margielyn Didal, and include a cultural costume that pays homage to a traditional Filipino food.
The Margielyn Didal x New Balance Numeric 272 "Puso" low-top shoes have black suede tooling forefoot and light khaki/tan quarter mesh segments with cross-weave patterns that resemble a Cebuano rice delicacy called Puso. This delectable coconut leaf-wrapped rice treat is also depicted on the graphic insole.
Didal grew up in a neighborhood where she used to sell Puso near a skatepark, so these commemorative skate shoes are the ideal shoe. The skater's initials on the right heel panel complete the co-branded product, while the left shoe shows Cebu's zip code, which is 032.
The Margielyn Didal x New Balance Numeric 272 "Puso" is now available at New Balance and select stores across the world, so get yours before they sell out!
