New Balance 999 Feral Creation Collection
Posted by Alex Kroviak | Aug 31, 2009 At its original release in 1996, the New Balance 999 was a technologically ground-breaking sneaker. On September 9th (9/9/09), the 999 Feral Creation Collection will release, thanks in part to Japan’s mita and Singapore-based retailer Leftfoot, as New Balance makes an effort to connect with its classic sneaker from the past and bring it forward into the future.
The pack includes four total pairs–2 inspired by and designed in conjunction with each store–with a 660-pair limited drop and a general release pair each. Leftfoot drew inspiration from the king of the jungle, the Lion, for its tier zero release. Featuring a mix of materials–suede, nylon, leather and reflective 3m–the Leftfoot 999 uses a grey sole inspired by the concrete jungle, contrasted by a dark grey upper with bright red and purple accents. Leftfoot’s general release 999 draws inspiration from the native-to-Singapore Peacock. The cues are obvious, as this design features a black and grey forefoot against a teal and blue heel. mita drew inspiration from Japanese animals as well, using the grey mouse and black crow as starting points. The mita limited 999, taking from the tough and resilient mouse, features a handful of materials in multiple shades of grey. This design was intended to be tough and represent the modern generation of Asian youth. The second pair from mita was designed after the black crow, and is the simplest of the four pairs, with its most unique feature definitely being the faux horse hair accents.

Lovin the leftfoot peacock colorway.
The others are nice too but it’s too much red on the front of the lions (the patent leather on the front should have been black or grey like the back)
