If you’re in NYC, check this out at Nort.Finally, a truce in the ongoing struggle between art and commerce. After recent battles went both ways (Yay art! Yay, um, commerce!), the always level-headed Lower East Side weighs-in with a solution: Why not celebrate both? This newish Ludlow St. mural manages to do just that, expressing its bleak view of the urban jungle while also managing to pinpoint the exact location of Eldridge Street sneakerhead Mecca Nort. It’s a beautiful thing when two opposing sides can come together like this, all in the name of Nike.

Here’s the New Balance x Sneakernstuff M577 SNS edition where only 96 pairs were made in England. Here’s the story from Sneakernstuff:
“Finally! When New Balance asked us if we wanted to do a collab with them it took us a few minutes to understand it… The two founders of sneakersnstuff, Erik and Peter, flew down to England and the NB factory which is located in the nice Lake District in a little village called Flimby. No computers or photoshop were used. It was the old school way: “here are the materials available”. Write down where you like to put the certain materials and what colour.Two colourways was made. One by Erik and one by Peter.”
