As a follow-up to 2013’s Sneaker Freaker x New Balance 998 “Tassie Devil” – which was an undeniable hit – the two entities link up once again for a new release in ode to a now-extinct animal indigenous to Australia.
The Sneaker Freaker x New Balance 997.5 “Tassie Tiger” features what SF is calling “the blackest suede in the animal kingdom” at the midfoot, while fangs appear at the forefoot ahead of a multicolored, speckled midsole. The upper culminates with light pinkish red hues.
Set to release first on July 15 as a friends and family release with special packaging at 15 McKillop Street in Melbourne, Australia, at 6pm, an online drop will follow on July 16 at 9am.
