Highsnobiety has pics of NB UK’s Spring/Summer 07 line, courtesy of marketing agency, Canoe.

This includes the “Classic Car Range” threesome, scheduled for release in three months. My guess is these are 576′s like the Jacket series?

“The sneakers were inspired by 3 classic cars: Porsche Carrera, Ferrari Testarossa and Triumph Herald. … This range will go on Sale 2nd of February and will be exclusively available at Frontier, Offspring and Size? in the UK.”

Plenty of 574′s in the collection too including the Asian dragon model previously on NBB, another brown embroidered model, and a trio of bright colorways. I’m all about the fluorescent yellow!

These two “100 Years” Centennial 574′s are now in wide release at Zappos. These are some of the nicer 574′s with full leather material, unique shield logo and embroidered heels. It’s hard to beat $84 and no shipping (and no tax for most) and they’re stocked in a full range of sizes.

I passed on posting the original release of this because I really wasn’t feeling it and $500 is ridiculous for a pair of New Balance given how many top end models you can get for well under $200. But they’ve released a second titanium/gunmetal colorway that’s a lot nicer looking with some sectsy double-lace action, so if you’re willing to spend half a G on a pair of handpainted 574′s (not even 576′s?), here’s your chance. The series is limited to 12 pairs of each color. The original gold/green are on sale for $400 for the bargain basement shoppers.

Pretty wild Asian style on this one with a yellow embroidered dragon and toe stitching. I’m going to guess it’s Japanese-inspired because the dragon appears to have 3 claws but wtf do I know.
According to the all-knowing & all-sample-seeing Kiya these are Tier 2 Limited, hitting American streets on February 10, 2007 for $95.

This pink/gold/black design will be released September 25th at Mita, Japan for about USD $213. Nuff attention to detail here with the “for love or money” message on the tongues and the gold star eyelets. It seems this is the 2nd version of a 2005 collaboration with Almond.

Due in December at all shops with Tier 1 accounts, these look to be all about the materials – chocolatey leather and what might be hemp? Cool oversized stitching as well. The pix speak for themselves:
