New Balance’s Tokyo Design Studio and Snow Peak are back with some incredible new work this month. Building on their last project, the new TBS Niobium Concept 1 combines three shoes in one for a completely customizable experience.

Snow Peak and New Balance have a shared penchant for crafting some extremely cool technical goods. The last time we saw the two team up, the two created the Extreme Spec R_C4, a high-top hiking-minded silhouette based on several of NB’s popular lifestyle models. This time around, the two are taking things a step further, straying from New Balance’s current arsenal in favor of an entirely new look: the TBS Niobium Concept 1. To be clear, the Niobium is actually three shoes in one, transforming from a mule silhouette to a trail runner or hiking boot with the addition of swappable inner booties for a customizable fit.
