Back in Spring, DTLR VILLA and New Balance came together for a special 990 to honor Memorial Day. Now, the two powerhouses have reconnected for a striking 998 collaboration.

Known as the “Four 4 Four,” DTLR VILLA and New Balance’s latest collaborative effort puts an emerald green, orange, black and blue spin on the popular 998 silhouette. Besides it eye-catching, luxe tones, the sneaker also boasts a blend of high-end materials — such as pig suede — in its construction. Notably, the shoe is being created to honor the city of Philadelphia, and will be exclusive to that area’s retail market.

You can take a look at the DTLR VILLA and New Balance 998 “Four 4 Four” collaboration above, while the sneaker itself will hit the shelves of Philadelphia stores this Friday, October 26. The style is a limited-edition offering, and only 215 pairs will be produced.

Earlier this week, Todd Snyder teamed up with New Balance for the 990 “Pale Ale.”
