NEW BALANCE 574 CARPET

think carpets are just for floors? well, they've taken a literal step higher...to your feet! hahaha.

check it out...you guys are looking at a Limited Edition pair of New Balace 574. these are called ‘Carpet’ named after some of the material used on the shoe. and honestly, before this shoe came along, i had no idea that carpets even had "types", but hey, that's just me. :)

the sneaker's tongue has the NB Limited Edition Logo on it.
there are 2 different types of carpet material used to make the shoe on the side panel and toe box. the shoe has tan leather and the brown carpet with some suede on the inner side.

just when you thought they've used every single material out there for sneakers. what's next, "The Persian Rug Sneakers"?

some call it "tacky", some "unique"...whatever gets you off, right?

NEW BALANCE 576 AMAZON AND YAMATO

Yosuke, a famous actor in Japan has designed and will be launching his own New Balance 576 along with Mita Sneakers.

These special New Balance 576 has two models, namely the "Amazon", and the "Yamato".

THE AMAZON
Loud and juicy, this sneaker is out to turn heads. It is in the colorway inspired by the Amazon rain forests.


THE YAMATO

The more quiet but none-simpler version of Yosuke's vision. In classic white/red colorway with a twist. At the back of the shoe's heel, is a wonderful and quite detailed embroidery of the famous Japanese Cherry Tree Blossoms (or "Sakura").



If interested, watch out for these issues early next year. Both will be released in February of 2007.

NEW BALANCE M1700

Two of Japan’s Iron Sneaker Stores, Mita and Atmos will do battle in the name of New Balance’s 100th anniversary by each releasing a commemorative M1700.

Atmos is in pink, Mita is in blue and white. The New Balance M1700 is due September 16th.

ATMOS





MITA



Editorial: My personal vote goes for Atmos! I think Mita could've spent more design effort on this one. It's just too plain-looking for a commemorative issue. And I'm sticking by that note. :)
