South Korea’s CAYL Brings Its Love For The Outdoors To A New Balance Capsule

As New Balance preps for the New York City Marathon, the North American company continues to tap creative partners across the globe for special projects. Recently, the Boston-based institution enlisted the vision of South Korean brand Climb As You Love (CAYL).

Founded in 2011, CAYL is an independent label obsessed with all things outdoors. A quick look at the brand’s Instagram account showcases an affinity for the deceptively simple. Its New Balance 610 and New Balance Fresh Foam X More Trail, then, follow similar design principles. “Covert Green” and “Shadow Grey” finishes are employed across each pair, respectively, delivering finishes appropriate for any excursion outside the city. Tried-and-proven cushioning also makes its way onto both styles, blending performance and function like CAYL does in its solo work. Co-branding is kept to a minimum, with the most obvious sign of a collaboration landing on the NB 610’s lateral side and NB Fresh Foam X More Trail’s upper heel.

Enjoy retailer photography ahead, as you wait for firm stateside newbalance.com launch details. The NB x CAYL capsule is set to drop overseas on October 1st.
