Undefeated x Stussy x realmad Hectic New Balance MT580 Pack

Undefeated x Stussy x realmad Hectic New Balance MT580 Pack
Expect the release of the Undefeated x Stussy x realmad Hectic New Balance MT580 Pack soon in Japan. These companies have worked together before with terrific results.

This collaborative pack includes three different colorways of the MT580, all inspired by the 70’s movie “3 The Hard Way.”

The three sneakers include: Freddie, a black and gold colorway; Jimmie, a brown colorway; and Kelly, a bright yellow and black colorway. The details of the three shoes are the same (besides the color), they all have a very distinct feel.

The Freddie is the most stylish version. The combination of black and gold gives these shoes a regal quality to them. The brown version, Jimmie, combines different shades of brown to create a shoe that looks outdoorsy.

But the standout shoe in the pack is definitely the yellow Kelly. This sneaker features bright yellow leather throughout, contrasted with black on the toe box, side panel and top of the heel. The laces, tongue and N logo are also black. With shiny patent leather in some areas, these shoes have a very sleek look.

Expect more details and price info on these sneakers to be released soon.

New Balance CM320M

New Balance CM320M

Three colorways of the New Balance CM320M have been released at Atmos Tokyo.

These sneakers offer a nice looking mix of premium suede and mesh fabric to create a very attractive shoe. The 320 was part of the New Balance line decades ago and was brought back recently with a new modern look.

One very unique aspect of these shoes if the shape of the toebox which is geometric rather than the normal rounding.  I really like the grey/fuschia version of these shoes pictured above. The suede looks rich and pairs nicely with the shades of grey. The back of the heel reads “new balance” in white against a shiny black with a tri-shaded rainbow.

The black/grey colorway is the most simple of the group. It’s very stylish and has the nice touch of aqua laces. The third version is a white/blue shoe that is dominated in white, but is accented in blue on the rear side panels. The heel of this sneaker offers a bright yellow, green and red rainbow.

The CM320M is very affordable at just 7,140 yen - about $65 USD.

New Balance 576 Canvas Pack

In 2008, New Balance will be releasing it’s 576 Canvas Pack. After seeing all of the new shoes that are too bright and gaudy, this pack is a refreshing and simplistic.

It features straightforward style in a basic canvas fabric. One of the shoes in the pack will be the purple colorway pictured above. And though purple isn’t an everyday color, these sneakers aren’t too bright or bold. The deep purple blends nicely with the grey logo and accents.

Information on other colorways and prices is expected to be released soon; we’ll keep you posted.  Thanks to Sneaker Freaker for the photo.
