686 x New Balance MT580

686 x New Balance MT580The New Balance MT580 was built by collaborations.  Not to take away from the silhouette in anyway, much of the shoe’s success hinges on the numerous unattainable successful collaborations that took place on this silhouette overseas in Japan.

Given it’s past, it would only be fitting that after coming to America that the New Balance MT580 hook up to do some more collabs.  The latest to the plate is technical apparel outfitter 686 who utilizes their expertise in tough materials with dyed yarn panels and rich leather uppers.  Other details that catch the eye include pop color a Rollbar, speckled midsole, and contrast stitching.

Both colors of the 686 x New Balance MT580 are available now at 686.

atmos x New Balance 576 “Face Off 2 Turbo”

new-balance-atmos-face-off-1Japanese retailer/brand atmos is back with another New Balance collaboration with the “Face Off 2 Turbo” - a pretty slick 576 remix in a white/teal/purple/lime colorway with a hodge-podge (albeit well-executed) of materials on it.

The upper consists of a bevy of materials from the lenticular side-panel and back heel tab to the cement heel panel, but turn out the lights and the shoe reveals a glow-in-the-dark dot matrix pattern on the toe.  Other detailing includes the two layers of speckled print on the midsole as well as the artwork on the tongue.

While the reviews will most likely be mixed on these, atmos proves once again to push the envelope in the elaborate design that we see in each product drop.

Expect availability to be highly limited.  Peep more of the shoe after the break.

New Release: New Balance 1700 at HUF

new-balance-1700-huf-2A new oiled leather colorway of the New Balance 1700 is now available at HUF.  The 1700 is a great running and active shoe and one of the more technical models featuring cushioning plates in the midsole.

This is definitely a style we haven’t seen too much of from the NB camp featuring the oiled leather upper and dark grey accents.  All in all, it looks like more of a casual shoe than performance, but with the same comfort and stability in most of the higher-end New Balance models.

Take a closer look after the jump and let us know what you think.  It’s available now at HUF via phone orders.
