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”? |
