686 x New Balance 2009 Fall/Winter Collection
by Eugene Kan, August 19, 2009

Bringing together two independent American brands, snowboard-centric 686 teams up with New Balance on an upcoming capsule for the 09-10 fall/winter season. Throughout the collection, you’ll find relevant touches to each respective brand with the marquee pieces of the collection including an MT580 snowboard boot, two styles of outerwear and of course an MT580 itself offered in two colorways. Rounding out the collection are a series of t-shirts and a fitted New Era 59FIFTY cap. Check your local 686 stockist for availability in the very near future.







I think these look way better than the AM1 or 90. Not the shape, but the design.
And it’s really nice combined with the style of the Jackets. I think 686 made the design of the kicks also…funky!
yay NB is starting to look hella sick…, but yeah it reminds me of AM90s too much
Rockin’ the snowboardin’ boots with my snowbeach – what -what.
striking resemblance to the airmax 1 and 90
white 580 is nice
ugh, the first black sneakers look like something the dungeons and dragons players wore in high school. pass.
hope its a long winter
