Here are some new pictures of the 24 Kilates x New Balance x New Era "Modernist Pack" which is inspired by the architecture in Barcelona. Colored tiling is one of Antoni Gaudi's signature designs where he has used this theme in many of his popular tourist destinations. 24 Kilates, the boutique in Barcelona, has taken this inspiration and applied in onto a New Balance sneaker as well as a New Era cap forming the "Modernist Pack". Included in this pack is a New Balance M1700 and a New Era 59Fifty Fitted Cap. These will release on April 12th at the 24 Kilates store only. Don't miss out if you're in town.

Upon its debut in 1982, the New Balance 990 series tipped the scales at a staggering $100 USD, a rare price point at the time. It's styling is still relevant over 25 years later, as the 990 in our eyes looks every bit as contemporary with its clean cut styling and flattering silhouette. The M990 EX seen here includes a gray and black upper with mesh and suede details. Available now at Mita.

As world famous sneaker customizers Methamphibian and SBTG hit the drawing board for a run of exclusive designs for Singapore's Leftfoot boutique, they sought to go against the recent New Balance trend of utilizing various colors and material combos. Instead they decided on a uniform design to represent the theme of Heaven and Hell with intense detailing. From afar, the details are subtle and barely visible, however upon closer inspection the sneaker comes to life. With a release date slated for April, look for these to remain exclusive to Asia. Leftfoot (Singapore/Taipei) and Japanese retailers UNDEFEATED, Mita and Atmos will all split the 444 pairs per color.
