Yesterday we got a glimpse of Sneaker Freaker’s “Skippy the Kangaroo” video promoting their sneaker with New Balance, which was creative if nothing else. And now today, the Aussie team behind the Sneaker Freaker x New Balance 850 sent us over these detailed images, showing the nooks and crannies of this lesser-known silhouette.

The toe cap, as we know, is genuine kangaroo leather, carrying an orange-tan hue. The majority of the upper carries a black color-up, providing a dark base for the kangaroo and yellow accents to work against. Nubuck, leather and mesh combine in black, while an off-white midsole and white accents finish the colorway. These 850s will release December 5th internationally, and of course we’ll have more release information as the date nears.

We finally got a complete look at the Sneaker Freaker x New Balance 850 not too long ago, and many of you expressed your interest in the recently-released silhouette. To announce the official release, Sneaker Freaker put together this video, featuring Skippy the kangaroo. The Australian magazine’s collaboration features genuine kangaroo leather around the toe, so it’s ironic they chose to let Skippy star in the commercial, but it’s creative and effective nonetheless. Check it out and then head to the comments section.

Sneaker Freaker and New Balance have paired up for this 850 runner, set to release December 5ht as a part of the Global SMU Program. If you recall, we got a single picture sneak peek of this sneaker, as it made the cover of the popular sneaker magazine for Issue 16.

To show their Aussie roots, kangaroo leather has been applied around the toe cap. The orange-tan hue is matched with mesh on the topside of the toe, while black suede, leather and mesh are used for the remainder of the upper. Bright yellow accents are used on the heel tab, logo outline, as an accent on the midsole and for the liner. We also get a look at the custom insole, where the Sneaker Freaker name gets the same “slashed” treatment as the New Balance name logo.

Now that we get a better look at this newly-stateside silhouette, do you agree with the 850 making our list of “9 Sneakers We’re Looking Forward to in ‘09″?

Not much can be said about this sneaker yet seeing that this is only a preview of what is to come; however, we can share a couple of details now. First off, both sides applied an Australian feel to this shoe by applying genuine kangaroo leather to the base. The color makeup seems to incorporate yellow, black and dark tan. Other features include the Sneaker Freaker logo on the insoles, a green/yellow New Balance logo on the tongue and a white sole. What are your preliminary thoughts on this collaboration?

The New Balance M850 is available for Pre Order at Hanon, the shoes begin shipping after January 1st. The M850 originally dropped in the early 90’s and was the premier kicks to be released from New Balance, combining all of their best technology’s into one superior shoe.

Two original colorways return in this iconic silhouette. Which would you choose?
