Skinner posted some nice snapshots from the Streething x Sole Obsession “Swap & Gawp” free event, Saturday June 9 in Kuala Lumpur (previously on NBB).

Let’s see what we can spot.. M576RCGB 3M Tier 1 reflective grey.. M576TNRY Concepts and M576SPLA Sportie LA.. some Hanon x NBs.. 574 Conbini Pack.. samples of DN’s 2008 reflective Asia-made 576s.. MT580 Mita x RMH.. Super Team 33.. a whole host of other stuff. Anyone know what those 3 black 576/574s in a row are?

I just noticed that Mita has three NB computer backgrounds available for free here. On offer are ST33 Vol1 and Vol2 and the Mita MT580 9th Ed. in a variety of dimensions, even widescreen 1680×1050. The ST33 ones are really creative and I have just made the switch!

A closer look at the forthcoming RMH x Mita black/black MT580s. This was slated for March so probably not long now.

Also according to AltSnk it looks like the Pesto colorway of this same shoe dropped at the UNDFTD store opening on March 24th in Tokyo.

MT580s are the new black! Mita x Real Mad Hectic are at it again, this time with Black/Black, Black/Blue, Black/Pink and Black/Purple colorways and a “Stingray” material on the heel.

Also pictured below is the “Pesto” MT580 by the same folks with pesto green and splashes of neon yellow, pink, blue and orange.
The Pesto and Black/Black are due in March, the rest in February.

Alright from time to time when there’s not a lot of headlines I’m gonna shout out some stores with impressive deadstock. Here are a few finds at stay246 in Japan.. these are all in very limited sizes, mostly around 8-9 US.. and priced like they know what they’re worth.. but it is what it is.
MT580 NB x MITA x Hectic in orange

Again in neon yellow-green, grey and blue

MT580 NB x Stussy x Hectic in “Atlantis”.. or as I like to say, salmon, sea green and #2 brown

Another pic of the “Triple Threat” MT580 as reworked by Undefeated, Stussy and Real Mad Hectic. Buckwild!

According to Honeyee these will retail in Japan for 16,590 Yen or roughly USD $140, and we (or rather, they) may see a T-shirt and Be@rbrick toy as part of the collaboration.
