The Fall/Winter 2018 runway trend has greatly reflected empowerment and independence. With a renewed focus on crusading women in politics, art, film and fashion comes a grounded and even more creative nonpareil workmanship of designers and brands. Saturated colors, big logos, pop art prints, nudes, and luxe streetwear looks were some of the season’s most pervasive elements. And in the age of #MeToo and Times Up movement, this season only underlined what digital era and great fashion have always been about: making a statement.

For the longest time, brands “collaborate” with designers for an exclusive collection and businesses find ways to advocate for relevant matters. And it is this similar spirit that pervades the recent partnership of 0917 and New Balance. For more than a century, the iconic sneaker brand has worked to move the world around us, believing in one simple truth: we are born to move. Globe Telecom’s retail arm, 0917, has teamed up with the fearlessly independent shoe brand as it resonated with their tech-savvy consumers who always push forward and are in pursuit of their dreams. Both challenging the conventions of the industry and curating a perfect blend of function and fashion, 0917 launched #TheNextMove Fall Collection. A shared story of New Balance and 0917, the limited edition pieces were engineered to run alongside people’s goals and passions.

New Balance’s architectural identity and performance technology are complemented with a 0917 flair. The trademark look of New Balance stitched together with the inspiration 0917 drew from their consumers showcased an 80s-meets-modernity streetwear collection – an eclectic combination of retro colorways and dusty grays. The athleisure fall collection features multi-colored windbreaker, shirts with 0917 logo illustration, chic hoodie dresses, statement headwear, branded socks and sleek bags but The Next Move’s biggest drop was their exclusive 574 NB classic release in gray. Made from premium suede, ENCAP® core cushioning, mesh design and customized 0917 laces, dog tag and shoe sleeve, 574 classic delivers more comfort and durability while supporting people who are always moving.

In a burgeoning world of fashion that is also in sync with the growing digital base, the 0917 x New Balance Fall Collection is anchored on passion, influence, energy, and vision—the essence of what this joint capsule is all about. And more than just a purveyor of an immersive, expressive, and integrated digital lifestyle, 0917 strives to be the next brand breaking barriers to fast fashion and empowering you on your next move.

0917’s The Next Move Fall Collection is now available in select Globe stores nationwide, shop.globe.com.ph and Zalora. Stay updated on the latest news and promos by following Globe on Facebook and Twitter and 0917 on Instagram.
