This new silhouette from New Balance Japan blends boot and shoe to make an all-weather silhouette that’s protective like a rain boot and loud like, well, a Japan-exclusive sneaker. Mixing materials, both A03 models use suede on the toes and nylon for the remainder of the upper.

Black is used for the base of the first pair while bright pink jumps off the toes to accent these and grab the attention of any passer-by. This pair sits on a grey midsole and black outsole. The other pair uses shades of brown, both dark and tan, sitting on a dark brown outsole and off-white midsole. Both are also lined with fur to keep their wearers’ feet warm.

Thanksgiving is a time to sit down with family and give thanks for the blessings we’ve received, enjoying the moments we get with those we love. Black Friday is for ruthlessly pushing over fellow shoppers to get the last hot item on sale at the mall. While we don’t endorse the latter, this Concepts x New Balance collection may very well result in such melee.

The New Balance 1500 and 875 boot will both be available in this collection for the 27th, draped in full-grain brown leather. This 875 boot is the first time we’ve ever seen this silhouette, while the 1500 is a classic runner. The 1500 features an embossed tongue tag and pigskin leather lining for added breathability. The 875 boot uses the same features, and features a molded EVA sole and Rollbar technology. The colorway and material choices stem from the brick-lined streets of Boston’s North-end neighborhood, a landmark in American history.

New Balance’s classic 577 isn’t going anywhere. At 20 years old, the silhouette may be rather old by sneaker standards, but it’s never gone out of style. For nest Spring and Summer, more 577s will drop, including these two we previewed a few months ago.

Both pairs feature white off-white nubuck and suede throughout. Tan mesh and suede are used on the uppers and toe areas. As of yet, maroon and olive green colorways will release, with snakeskin print on the mid-panels. Both also sit on white midsole, which match the heel and toe accent panels, and black outsoles.

Although the majority of you are anticipating holiday releases centered around Thanksgiving and Christmas, we must take the time out to recognize a release that coincides with Veterans Day. Today, honors a special remembrance of our military veterans therefore, what did you do to honor them? New Balance answers that question by releasing a special 993 lineup inspired by the five branches of military.

Each branch, including the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Coast Guard, is represented by their respective color scheme. Specifically, the color scheme on each sneaker draws inspiration from the respective branch’s recognizable seal. Also, this Heritage Collection was made in the USA; therefore, a United States flag is visible on the heel panel overlayed with the letters, USA. Who else is applauding New Balance for this collection? The entire collection is now available NBWebExpress. Click here to view this collection in its entirety.

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.
