2008 Asia-made 576 Samples

June 06th, 2007 | Author: DJ M | Category: 576, Asia

Here are some pics from Sole Obsession of Asia-made 576’s due to drop in early 2008. These feature reflective 3M material all over the toe area and “N”, plus suede on the middle and back panels. I’m feeling these, the purples remind me of the La MJC x Colette 1500s!

For anyone within reach of Malaysia, you can check these out in person at the Streething x Sole Obsession “Swap & Gawp” free event, this Saturday June 9 in Kuala Lumpur.

Edit: Added a pic taken with a flash to show how reflective these are. Thanks DN.

    just ordered all three for the release - can’t really tell from the pics but the entire toe area is really reflective. The suede is really nice - brown and pink??

    Just added another photo to illustrate how reflective the 3M is.
