New Balance's Tokyo Design Studio Niobium 2 is a modular hiking sandal designed in joint with Japanese innovators Snow Patrol for maximum comfort and technical capabilities whether you're on or off the trails. Although harboring the same name. the Niobium 2 has been reconstructed from the ground up this time with the duality of sandal and mule. Comprised almost entirely out of mesh for breathability. the sandal is reinforced with synthetic leathers and a toe/mudguard for firm support. Comes complete with FRESH FOAM cushioning and magnetic FIDLOCK buckles.
