Another instalment of MORPRIME IndustriesTM recording instances whereby motorsport touches base with our beloved sneaker culture, forming an indistinguishable knit to please both petrol-heads and footwear aficionados.
Here we have 2012’s New Balance 993 x Kawasaki ‘NINJA’, an inevitable highlight in the @s_j_pearce Hall of Fame.
We aren’t so used to Boston’s household favourite allowing external brands to plaster their name across panels of premium suede, so when we see a 993 silhouette Made in USA AND draped in Kawasaki-green — necks are broken.
Three, we repeat THREE sets of script scoped residency upon this unicorn, firstly reading ‘NINJA’ across both tongues and ‘KAWASAKI’ then finding residency on either heel and mudguard in tandem.
This pair in particular was obtained via means of a certain SUPERBIKE team manager -- pretty cool if you ask us! Who doesn’t love a sneaker story?
What is your most interesting pick-up story? Do any of your pairs have a story?
