New Balance has done their fair share of super-limited sneakers, but US sneakerheads are often left out in the Pantalons with their Japan exclusives. Such was the case with the dope New Balance CM576 ‘Fujin’, a sick send-up of the Shinto god of wind by that same name. The colorway was heavy on silver and cm996 green, but for the Fujin 2, New Balance is known for releasing classic models and come this Holiday 2012 took a different route. These joints still feature highly breathable mesh upper in honor of the wind god, but with the black, grey and blue design, these come across considerably darker than the OG Fujins.
