Available: New Balance x J.Crew 1400 “Blue Sky and Cranberry”

J.Crew doesn’t seem to be putting any hault on their 1400 collaboration with New Balance. Last year they introduced six new colors to the model. This doesn’t include their Classic Pine and Navy color-ways from 2010 which puts it at eight different C/W’s to choose from. In 2012 we get two more added to the ever growing catalog in the colors Cranberry and Blue Sky. Hues perfect for the coming Spring that give you that POP on your feet. You can actually purchase these now in certain sizes (Some are shipping in February). Price is the same at $130.00 + $8.95 shipping. Check out a few more images until I receive the Cranberry pair…

Sneek Peek: Saucony x Solebox Shadow 5000 Collection 2 ???

Back in October 2011, Hikmet of Solebox released some on-foot images of this Saucony Shadow 5000 pack. It was right after Solebox’s “Three Brothers” launch. Many thought it was just images of those colored-up in photoshop. Well, guess they were wrong because here are one of two top view images of both color-ways. No info yet as to what is the deal with them, but if you live near Solebox the samples are there for your viewing pleasure. Check out the second image and a third that shows the gum bottom of the Pink Devil pair…

Available: New Balance x Burn Rubber MT580 “Workforce” Pack

UPDATE: 1.20.2012 – These were prematurely launched. They have been taken down until further notice.

Detroit’s Burn Rubber is at it again. In November 2010, they released their first project with New Balance on Rick William’s favorite NB model, the MT580; I did a Fresh Out The Box review here. That shoe did really well for them, even making it to Complex’s top 10 shoes for 2010. The obvious success of that, lead BR to do another shoe. Well, another two shoes in a pack dubbed the “Workforce”. Based off the “Blue Collar” and “White Collar” jobs of the world, the make-ups include gum bottoms and heavy black and grey uppers accented again with patent leather. Interested? Live in NYC? Than you are in luck…

Customizer: New Balance 574C “A.P.O.C.”

The New Balance 574C is a lot better than maybe most would have thought. The materials, shape and color palette give you a lot of options to make-up your own 1 of 1. Get caught buying one and your guaranteed to buy another. As is the case with me. This is my fourth New Balance 574 and definitely not my last. In fact, I have another four in my stack that I will share at another time. For now, here is  my NB 574C “A.P.O.C.”…
