Representing the core of casual wear, sneakers and denim are two things that will undoubtedly pass through the hands of most people through their lifetime. Back in 1988, New Balance released their fan favorite 576 runner. Coincidentally Japanese repro jean company Denime also began their first work in 1988 producing high quality denim. Together the two will celebrate their respective 20th anniversaries with two collaboration 576s. The off-white model is inspired by White Buck shoes from the 20s and on while the blue pair is modeled after deck shoes. Currently for sale online at Denime.

Continuing on with their Be True Chronicles, Nike attempts to shed light on concepts and designs that may have been previously overlooked in the past as well as create a hall of fame of some of Nike’s biggest Dunks to ever come through their hands. Their insight includes the Viotech and the original UNDFTD release. Perhaps most interesting is the inevitable furor that surrounds each UNDFTD shoe release. Although samples never come back in its intended form, this has proved a real blessing in disguise as the mis conceived samples are often a hit and ultimately influence the final product. Check the most recent chronicle releases as well as previous ones over at Nike Be True.
