The New balance collaboration with UNDFTD, Stussy and Realmad Hectic have been talked about for quite but now, they will be finally launching in the States today. There will be three MT580 sneakers included in this launch each having the name Jimmy, Freddie or Kelley. There will also be an exclusive UNDFTD t-shirt for the launch of these sneakers.
Both the tees and sneakers will be available today at Undefeated’s e-shop. If you want to get it in stores, then you’ll have a wait a bit longer.
This will be the fifth series coming from the New Balance 33 Super Team. This time, New Balance transformed the M998 model into a Luxury Luggage collection which takes inspiration from luxurious Italian bags (crocodile), Victorinox and Swiss Army bags (black) and finally traditional travel trunks (red/purple). This pack is now available at Atmos Tokyo.
The 20th Anniversary of the fabled 576 from New Balance will see an influx of new commemorative sneakers releasing. Among the first releases is the M576UK NG, a throwback to the beginnings of the 576 with a simple blue on blue colorway with mesh toebox. Quality can be ensured with the Made in England tag. However, the bits of yellowed plastic on the heel cap (and any pre-distressing for that matter) is something we’d rather do without. Available early next month.

The CT470 from New Balance is an old school court shoe that has been popular only in Japan. The model features a very clean silhouette with details like a suede toe box and a vintage feeling sole. Two colorways are available which are both inspired by the courts from major Gran Slam tennis tournaments. Available at Hanon Shop.
New Balance will soon be releasing these M1300UK “Made In England” sneakers soon. They set will come in three different colorways which include blue, yellow and purple and features suede material on the upper and a cement pattern on the heel support and mid sole. Coming out at Mita Sneakers in February.
A new range of New Balance 574s have released. Two models each feature small subtle polka dots. The black/gold colorway encompasses a black upper with gold trim and gold dots while the white/multi colorway includes a rainbow gradient of colors on the side. Available now through Atmos.
Although New Balance’s history has spanned over a century of innovative and quality products, their diverse releases have spanned court shoes, basketball shoes, running shoes and more obscure miscellaneous items such as slippers. Their MR820 is more of a lifestyle approach to the cross trainer. Available in two different colors, each ensures comfort with New Balance’s proprietary technologies.

The bare essentials is a good way to describe nonnative’s take on their version of the New Balance M1700. The once running marvel and flagship of the New Balance collection has been offered in two low key colors. The grey joint most likely tickles the fancy of those hard to please conservative northern Europeans that grace the likes of the Crooked Tongues forums while the white pair makes me think Warren Moon and the days of the defunct Houston Oilers.
