New Balance's Korean wing has quietly been the source of some pretty interesting retro styles, styles that don't end up releasing outside of Asia.

Its 999 creations have been plenty publicized, but this New Balance 1600 somehow slipped under the radar. The shoe gets more pastel with its palette than any of the recent global releases for the 1600, reminding fans of the brand what this sometimes slept-on silo is capable of.

This New Balance 1600 edition most likely won't be releasing in North America, so anyone hoping to grab a pair will have to do some hunting.
