Sneaker Fiend Saturday: New Balance Edition

Stussy, UNDFTD, Mad Hectic and New Balance have been doing a four-way dance over in Japan for many years, with the beefy MT580 being their colab canvas of choice. Things are getting a shake-up this season though, with another fave Japanese model, the CM576 Trail Buster, taking center stage. Trail Buster releases nowadays tend to adopt all sorts of crazy rainbow colourways, so these simple, almost Jordan-esque red and blue on black arrangements are something out of the ordinary. Look out for them on Thursday April 29th at Hectic outlets.

New Balance MT580 X Stussy X UNDFTD X Hectic

New Balance continue their reign on quality collabs with a triple treat combining the best out of Stussy Japan, Hectic and UNDFTD. Banding together three of the finest brand/stores on one project, you know you're in for something special, and the MT580 does not disappoint. With plenty of texture goodness, from nubuck uppers to silky satin lining, these will give you multiple footgasms! Dropping with a tee and hoody to match, you can get yours from November 28th.

My favorite magazine Sneaker Freaker has a new collab with New Balance....

New Balance M996M XA X-Girl

Japanese store Atmos and X-Large’s sister label X-Girl have curiously chosen a men’s New Balance 996 running shoe as the canvas for their latest joint creation. These shiny silver gender benders feature violet accents reminiscent of the Dinosaur Jr SB’s that caused a ruckus a few years back. In a year where X-Large’s little sis’ turned fifteen and NB’s 990 line turned thirty it’s only fitting that both brands should share some colab cake. Exclusive to Atmos these will be landing in Japan on Saturday November 21st.
