320 US Release

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Due to hit stores mid February, NB releases a tier 1, 320 in the states. These have been out in Japan and Europe but now will be easily accessed by stateside lovers of the classic. Both shoes will feature a combination suede and mesh upper, they are pretty tame considering the more recent colorways and colabs. In 1976 the 320 was Runners World Magazine #1 running shoe, followed by the Brooks Villanova and the NB 305.

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

1400crb1400crt1400crp
These Beautiful 1400’s are due out late January and will set you back about $150. These tier 1 styles were put together by the ST33 Team but should still be easy to find for those who are looking. All three in this series offer a mix of premium smooth and suede leather, gum soles, and a 3M highlights. Check the runner silhouette in the toes of these beauties. The purple seems to be popping up a lot lately.

Update — notice the silhouette is actually of a chicken morphing into a human runner, a reference to the inspiration behind the NB technology. Shouts to DN for the tip off.

New Balance 574 Transportation Pack

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Sneaker Freaker previewed these kicks on August 8th “This pack, inspired by the various modes of transportion .. the look coming through here is one of commercial logistics and freight! Maps for truckers, mariners and pilots features across the shoes. Embroidered silhouettes of trucks, boats and planes feature on the respective heels.”

Maybe UPS should look at these for their drivers. Love the colors, design, and the style.

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

The M670UKRB has hit the shelves at Solebox. This Made in England classic has a suede heel and toe, smooth leather midfoot and patent leather at the top. Red inserts pull it all together. Impressive? Maybe, but not the strongest showing.
