In celebration of this years 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, many brands have looked to the populous super power for inspiration. New Balance has tackled the challenge via one of Chinese culture’s most popular institutions in Chinese Opera. Often featuring many colorful masks as a necessity for their wardrobe and story telling, New Balance has applied this concept to three different 576 models. Each with a strong conceptual background, shoe concepts include “Jing” (orange) who references power and force, “Chou” (red) focuses itself on crafty and cunning characteristics and finally “Mo” (green) which is based on maturity and honesty. The China Mask collection will release August 2008 with a suggested price of $100 USD.
The Mexican blanket concept has combined with the 20th anniversary of New Balance’s most popular 576 series to produce this latest release. Although most Mexican blanket themes stress a high degree of contrast and color, New Balance chose a more subdued pattern for this 576. The black leather upper is highlighted by a series of contrast stitches along the heel and the start of the toebox. Available now at mita.
Two familiar partners in crime, massive Japanese sneaker store Atmos has had the pleasure of working with New Balance on numerous occasions to fulfill the large Japanese appetite for the NB. We’ve seen distinct design patterns emanating from the Land of the Rising Sun as the Japanese are known to adore concept driven footwear as well as more liberal creations. The latest Atmos x New Balance collabo features a color-changing upper which changes colors relative to heat. A July release date has been set however aside from Atmos NY, don’t expect these to be too readily available outside of Japan.

A new range of styles from New Balance have been released.

In what we consider a collaboration staying true to the essence of the task at hand, New Balance’s 20th anniversary of their 576 running shoe is met with high end Japanese brand Tsumori Chisato. The collaboration creates a convergence point for two differing styles of fashion, New Balance on one hand have ingrained themselves in the ground work of sneaker culture and running elitists while TC’s high end roots incorporate visually stunning prints and designs fit for the runway. Two womens 576 models are featured in this small collection, each depicting an oceanic scene. Available soon at select IT dealers in Hong Kong.
Originally seen back in February was an upcoming collaborative effort between Singaporean sneaker store Leftfoot, New Balance and famous sneaker customizers SBTG and Methamphibian. The duo set forth with the theme of “Heaven and Hell”, an evolution of their initial plan of basing it on East (SBTG) meets West (Methamphibian). The two colors on the surface are distinguished by black and white, however upon further inspection, details come to life in a series of intricate highlights and exploration that pushes the realm of sneaker design. A special slide box is included which features a tiger camo print which enables you to place the slide-out portion and the box together to create a full out art piece. The sneakers will be available April 18th at Leftfoot Singapore.
The New Balance 576 seen here was created especially for friends, families and top retailers of New Balance as the 576 celebrates its 20th anniversary. Although not commercially available, Shoe Planet has began an auction for one pair of size 9 US and one pair of size 10 US.
Although not entirely a new theme from New Balance (previously seen on the Super Team 33 Elements Pack), the nature of the Chinese Taoist elements of earth, wood and water can be seen manifested on this latest pack of New Balance 576s. Each element’s aesthetic features are applied, from the Earth elements brown tones, Wood’s black and green significance to tree bark and leaves and Water, seen in an appealing blue and white colorway. The 576 Elements Collection began its roll-out on April 1st with the Earth model, with subsequent versions of the Wood releasing one month later and the Water model releasing June 1st.
