After a year-long partnership, Concepts and New Balance unveil its last collaborative model that centers upon the 991.5 silhouette. Named “Lake Havasu,” the UK-made sneaker’s design boasts premium suede and nubuck uppers in grey shades, gold and tan paneling, white midsoles, as well as gum outsoles for good measure. Reflective accents are also observed on the mesh tongue, heel tab, and “N” logos.

This rendition draws inspiration from a “bizarre story of an American businessman relocating the London Bridge to Lake Havasu, Arizona, as a tourist attraction,” expressed Concepts in a statement.  Take a look at the “Lake Havasu” 991.5 model above and purchase it at Concepts’ official website this January 19 at 11 a.m. EST for approximately $250 USD.
