In case you were unaware, 2006 marks New Balance’s 100th anniversary, and in celebration of this momentous occassion, New Balance has reached out to some of the world’s best designers to create some limited edition anniversary shoes. The latest pair are these beautiful ‘Made in England’ New Balance 1500s by La MJC and Colette.
The white, black, and purple patent leather and suede 1500s will be released exclusively at Colette in Paris on February 27, 2006 at the opening of their “UK, Jack OK!” exhibit. Only 96 pairs exist.

The 2nd Series from Vans Syndicate will be dropping later on this year – with Hemp Half-Cabs, Ballistic Nylon Sk8-His, Jaquard (think checkerboard) Old Skools, and premium suede Chukkas with embriordery by Japanese artist Taka Hayashi. The Sk8-His come with a matching bag!
Syndicate is distributed to around 100 accounts world wide. They are not a limited edition thing, however they are limited to those who understand.
