“Zozo Town’s Green Label Relaxing store by United Arrows has released a special limited edition NB M1600, featuring a suede, mesh and leather upper. Check it out here.” — K Moto @ SXH

Here are better pics of the wildstyle 990 posted yesterday, the M990EXBM, now also said to be a tribute to Japanese console games. The upper looks to be made of white leather, black patent leather and purple suede/nubuck, along with rainbow laces and an embroidered logo on the heel.
The sole however is totally different from the previous photo. Instead of NB’s Zip soles with shock-absorbing struts this model features a large dose of Abzorb® EX, with the air pocket around the outside.
“Abzorb® EX is a combination of New Balance’s premium Abzorb® foam and a peripheral pocket of non-pressurized air that is encapsulated in an engineered thermoplastic.” — NB
This M990EX with the Zip sole is said to be a “Japanimation” model that pays homage to anime and 1960’s TV color tests. Release date is rumored to be Oct-Nov 2007 as a Holiday Tier 1 release. Psychadelic business! Cheers to LIPDUNK for the info and pic.
Here’s a preview of three very nice looking Japanese CM1500’s for summer 2007. The DW (brown/white) and BP (black/purple) are said to be dropping this May at selected Tier 1 European shops. Then in August they will become more widely available in Europe along with the BW (black/white) colorway. All three share a perforated white toebox.
Thanks to seioz @ the CT forums for the heads up and r2b2 for release dates. Photos via Shoe Planet.
Personally I’m all about the DW’s!!
