Following a series of teasers over the past few months, Stone Island and New Balance's Tokyo Design Studio have finally unveiled the first collaborative sneaker as part of their long-term partnership.

The duo has reworked NB's RC ELITE running shoe in a red and white colorway. The kicks come with a breathable 3D knit material, which is ripped across the upper to reveal Stone Island's compass logo on the right and NB's graphics on the right shoe. The "N" motif remains stitched onto the laterals, while co-branding further continues on the tongue. In addition to the design, the sneaker is equipped with tech-focused features such as the FuelCell midsole.

The co-designed RC ELITE SI will be available for preview from October 7 to 10 at select Stone Island locations. An official release will follow on October 12 at the Italian brand's web store.
