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…
If you live in New York or surrounding cities, stop by the New Balance Experience store to grab a pair. Below is the info if you still haven’t been to the store. Good luck!

Any idea when these are dropping elsewhere?
Nah. I was a bit surprised that they even had them before Burn Rubber released theirs.
ACE!

Have you got the NEW BALANCE EXPERIENCE stores phone number??
thx

Have they got both versions??
SV, so are the main part of the uppers on the “Blue Collar” grey? black? blue? The few pictures i have seen, its hard to tell! I assumed they were dark blue…hence the name “Blue Collar”… but it seems they are black/dark grey
Thanks for the info on these showing up early…. i agree with you, strange they already have em at the NB Experience. BR hasn’t really said shit about these!!
Its hard to tell. I think it’s blue though.
Bodega tweeted that they had the navy pair in store yesterday, but then they tweeted today that the shoes are dropping on February 15. vOv
Yeah I saw that. Guess people are jumping the gun early with these.
